Greetings!
THIS MONTH, we're in a hurry to tell you all about our pace-of-play coverage. Oh, but wait, some of you are not in a hurry!

That's what some readers told us in our two-month pace-of-play survey, anyway. While most respondents play 18 holes in under 4.5 hours and most would like to play in under 4 hours, some players just want to while away more than 5.5 hours!

How can we all get along? Because, if I want to spend 5 hours on the course and you are anywhere behind me hoping to finish in 4 hours, ill feelings are percolating.

GottaGoGolfers, what is your solution to this golf problem?  Email us by August 20 and we promise to take your most original ideas to the PGA Show in Las Vegas and hand them over to the people of power.

In the meantime, check out some of our pace-of-play links:

Gentlemen, let the ladies play through! Here are the full results of the poll, and a whole lot of comments
Guidance from Gail
MAKE ONE CHANGE this month, and you will shave minutes off the time of your round. So says our Guidance guru, USGA official Gail Rogers -- and she's got a few ideas.

In fact, she wants us to start with a frank discussion with our favorite foursome, so that we know where we can improve. Yes, of course, we're not slow, everyone else is. But read Gail's story -- online and live on Monday, August 6 -- and let us know if it makes a difference.

 Read the whole story on Monday, August 6.
Did You Miss These Great Stories?
AT GOTTAGOGOLFMAG.COM, we are working hard to bring you fresh articles every week -- there's no other women's golf destination like it! We generate our own content, and you can clearly tell the paid advertising apart from the articles.

In the last month, we hit the road and brought you a few stories you might have missed:

Kathie Dyson's look at golf around the world

Katherine Marren's tips for playing in your first tournament

19th Hole's best bubblies for the champ

Rent or schlep? Pros and cons of taking your own golf clubs on vacation

Also, check out our new section on golf vocabulary. Every few weeks we'll add a new term for your golfspeak, and pretty soon you'll notice that not only does the language no longer sound foreign, you are talking the talk!

Look for all these stories and more, online now at GottaGoGolfMag.
