I have declined to play through a few times in order to join and play with a slower moving group.

Whenever a group offers to let me play through (if I'm alone) I ask if they would mind if I just join them instead. Also... if I am by myself or in a group of just 2 or 3 and a single quicker player is catching up I/we wait on the next pad and offer to let them play through, or invite them to join our group. My thinking is that the more sets of eyes you have to work with... the quicker you can find a lost disc. Plus I don't know what it is about this game, but it has turned me from an introverted people hater to this total social butterfly who enjoys meeting new people and sharing a nice round.
i'll decline if i'm throwing multiple discs..or if it's hot as hell and i'm in no big rush.
I have declined many times. The most common reason is when I am on a hilly course and 3 or 4 groups have just let me play through already. I gets tiring hustling through holes!
You think you are courteous? Jukeshoe wears a shirt that says "ASK ME ABOUT PLAYING THROUGH" on the back. Jukeshoe can be on hole #17, see a car pull in the parking lot and offer to let them play through. He actually calls people at home and asks them if they are going to play that day, and if they say "yes" he offers to let them play through.I usually offer to play through first. I have an impeccable ability to be mindful of courtesy.
