The fact that The Thistle Golf Club, north of Myrtle Beach is going with 12-minute rounds of golf IS commendable. It will make for a leisurely round of golf.

However, this is a PR ploy that Tim McDonald has been suckered into. The fact is you can show up at this golf course just about any time and there is hardly anyone there. It's not a bad track, really. But it is not very popular. I have been there three times and I could have played two ball. As of just last year their clubhouse was still a trailer. Great land, decent track....just not a popular course. They should go with 20-minute intervals with the scant business they draw.
