Fighting slow play is essential in developing good golfing skills. A golfer has to be aware that he is slow. He can know this through being told by his friends. This habit can be fought by choosing the correct set of tees from which to play, for example a twenty handicapper should not play the championship tees. Doing so only adds strokes, which add time. Members of a group should not travel together as a pack with all members walking together to the first ball. Each member in a group should walk directly to his own ball. When two players are riding in a cart, it should be driven to the first ball and the first player should be dropped off with his choice of clubs. Another point is that the golfer should use the time that he spends getting to the ball to think about the next shot, and if the player is unsure of whether their ball has come to rest out of bounds a provisional ball should be hit so that the player does not have to return to the same spot to replay the shot.
