Forget honors, unless you are playing match play. Golf is meant to be enjoyed therefore play “Ready Golf”. When taking score write the score on the next tee box rather than leaving the last green played. I believe the rule change in allowing the flag-stick to remain in the hole all the time has done a lot for speeding up play. I would suggest that everyone in the group putt with the flag-stick in. Tee it forward. Choose the correct set of tees to play according to your handicap. Not only will you save time, you will enjoy the game more. Accept responsibility: Recognize that slow play isn’t just about the other player. All of us want to enjoy our time on the course, and what better way than never having to wait on the group in front of us:).
