Hi

Only been playing golf for just over 2 years and wondering about
etiquette and how long it should take you to tee off.

My pre shot routine is this; place ball on tee, stand just behind ball
and take a practise swing, look for a marker just in front of the
ball, address the ball and swing.

This happened to me today; 18th hole at my club (Vicars Cross at
Chester) par 3, 131 yds to centre of the two tier green, flag today at
the back on the upper tier. Did this today with a 8 iron and put the
ball pin high, two putt for a par. My friend was already in the club
house and said it took a 45 seconds for me to do this (I know him and
believe me, he was probably including me watching my ball flight). He
was basically telling me I have to speed up; am I slow or is he being
a bit picky?

Cheers

Dave
