Every social media post about a slow Sunday tee sheet, every range-line muttering about the group ahead, every ranger driving a cart with a slightly grim expression, sits inside the same low-frequency complaint that the round used to take four hours and now takes five. The complaint is rarely interrogated. It is taken, by most of the people who voice it and most of the people who hear it, as obviously true. I would like to suggest that most of it is misdirected, and that the actual problem is not the time the round is taking. The actual problem is what the conversation about time has done to the way the round is being played.</p>
