I do exactly as you do. Right now I only session when my wife is out of town. I definitely enjoy coming home from a session to an empty house and not having to worry about marks and being able to just relax and think about the session.

You don’t have to worry about me picking up golf. Good for you to be able to play 18 in 3 hours, especially walking. That’s not what I hear from the people I know who play. It would seem that even if you can play fast you are still dependent on everyone in front of you doing the same. Maybe it depends on the course and type of golfers playing it. Or when you play. I imagine weekends are more crowded.
