Thanks for bringing up the standing up on a plane thing. So irritating. Where do these people think they’re going? Have they never flown before?
There are times when someone has a short time to catch a connecting flight when I get it but otherwise yeah, just sit and wait your turn.

Awareness is key. I'm probably the opposite of you - which is fine, not a right or wrong thing. I prefer teeing off at 6am and playing 18 holes in 2.5 hours but I don't have that expectation playing a public course on a Saturday afternoon. I think the biggest problem is new players all watching each other hit before starting their routine, seasoned players are already starting their routine while someone is hitting - then they hit right away. Doesn't seem like much but shaving those 30 seconds over 18 holes makes a massive difference.
Totally agree on being ready to play when it's your turn to play. That bugs me BIG time! Someone that literally has like 5 mins of waiting time while the others putt... but then wait until it's their turn to putt and take another several mins analyzing their putt when it's their turn... looking at it from every angle, etc.

Read your putt while the others are putting and then be ready to go when it's your turn.

I'm mostly talking about on a busy weekend just having to be patient and waiting for those in front of you to finish before you can hit your shot. Unless they are being stupid, like I mentioned above, sometimes it's just slow... and I don't really mind just relaxing and enjoying the peaceful time.

I NEVER go golfing if I'm in a hurry for any reason at all. I just don't enjoy golfing if I feel like I have to rush.

How about when your favorite team kicks FGs when they are getting their butts kicked and the opponent shows no signs of not being able to score??

People who pronounce the words “strength” and “length” as “strenth” or “lenth.” There’s a g in there, you’re supposed to ******* pronounce it.

Slow golf, and that slow players never think they are slow.
When the course is busy, just play with pace! DOn't play with 5 or 6 guys. Be ready to go when the group ahead leaves the green. Don't go looking in the creek for balls. We're all out there dealing with the same thing, don't make it worse.

I stand up almost ASAP cuz my legs hurt. Leg spacing is good for 5’10” people and I’m 6’4”.

I’m not in a hurry to get off the plane, i just want to stretch out.

Blister or clamshell packaging. You buy some product that is encased in a clear thick plastic package that is impossible to get open without a really sharp knife. Normal scissors can’t cut it.

Have one of these specifically for those.
