I regularly play with a ~10 handicap and have played with better and if I was really taking forever then I assure you they wouldnt want to continue to play with me
I agree.
The things that make someone slow are:
-the extra time they take on their pre-shot routine
-leaving their bag/push cart on the wrong side of the green
-spending extra time than normal to read their putts
-spending time searching for their ball because they didn't watch it land
etc..
if all four guys in a group waste one minute each per hole, then a four hour round turns into a five and a half hour round.
