I know karma is going to get me for saying this but......

do you find that you have a bad game of golf when you play with beginners.
There is a new lady at our club who is beginning and I have been playing with her and I have been trying to help her (strictly against the rules in comp, but who gives a *feces* when she is having a hard time and she is not going to win anything).
She can have up to 10-19 shots a hole, and I find that my game goes to *feces*.
She is playing with me this morning again, and the first thing I thought was "Gawd, I'm going to have a terrible game".
She is great company, and a nice person, I know I am being selfish and only thinking of myself.

Depends on "hack".  I used to play with a  coworker friend who'd shoot 105-125 per round.  I played my better rounds with him.  Just a nice guy to be around.

Perhaps if the hack slows you down, it's the slow play and lack of rhythm that ruin your round ... ?  My guy was not highly skilled, but he watched his shots, he dropped rather than hunt for balls lost in the tall grass, and generally didn't hold anyone back.

i knew that name was familiar
