Pace of play is treated like a courtesy. It's actually a competitive edge - the ready player thinks clearer and the dawdler beats himself. Here's why.

Most amateurs lay up out of habit and go for it out of ego, exactly backwards. The real question is never can I pull it off. It is what the miss costs.

Run a golf course? CaddieOS by caddie.fun is golf league and tournament software for golf courses.
Six six six - also called sixes - splits an 18-hole round into three six-hole matches with new partners each segment. Holes 1-6, 7-12, 13-18. Everyone plays with everyone. Nobody is stuck in a dead match for two hours.
Canonical guide: Sixes.
Buddy trips die when pairings ossify. Sixes forces social mixing without a spreadsheet of 18-hole partnerships. It also creates three scoreboard peaks instead of one snoozefest after a blowout front nine.
Keep each six cheap. Three $5 matches beat one $30 bloodbath. Presses inside a six-hole window are optional spice - not required.
The only way sixes fails is forgetting who is partners after the turn. A format card that resets the team sheet at 7 and 13 removes the only real failure mode. That is what sixes on caddie.fun is for.
If your foursome plays together every week and needs a format that stays social, six six six is the default. Pair it with a trip leaderboard later. For the broader menu, see golf betting games explained.
