Glove off/on - just time wasting posers?

But how much of a delay is a delay?

Glove off/on, practice swing, putting bag down, checking wind direction, distance, alignment, line, club selection, that monster pause for thought over the ball that inflicts some, drying hands on towel, looking at a course planner, etc.

One guys delay, is anothers essential.

Yes, pace of play should be brisk, but I can't see sitting in the club house, moaning about a 5 hour round being soley down to glove removal between shots.
