Slow pace at Thistle Golf Club admirable -- not a PR ploy

This is a little belated, but I have to respond to the Rebel Blogger, who once again must have had some of that wacky tobaccy in his cigar. He responded to a blog I wrote praising Thistle Golf Club near Myrtle Beach for its 12-minute interval tee times, a welcome change of pace on the Grand Strand.

The Rebel said it was a PR ploy built to disguise the fact the Thistle’s rounds were sagging. Actually, rounds are sagging everywhere on the Grand Strand – that doesn’t take away from the 12-minute intervals.

Also, note that the Thistle instituted those 12-minute tee times from the first day it started. If it’s a PR ploy, it’s a good one and obviously not in response to sagging rounds.
