My thoughts on slow play on tour: -Yes there are super slow players out there. They aren’t ready when it’s their turn, start talking to their caddies once it’s their turn, they take a few more practice swings, a few more looks at the hole. It sucks to play with them regularly. But it’s less players than you might think. It takes a select few slow players to slow down the entire wave. -Would a shot clock help? Yes it would. I think the threat of the clock itself will really make certain guys faster. -Tour has shied away from that because it would require a bunch more volunteers plus training which could be an issue and the inevitable arguments between the shot clock guy and players would be a massive headache for everyone involved. What do you do if you’re on the 12th tee at Augusta and you feel the wind change completely? Or a bug lands on your ball? Do you have to hit it anyway and watch it go in the water? -But you know what, you all changed me, I’m in favor of it. Let’s do it. Start conservatively but we have to do something because fans hate it. -It may be counterintuitive but the focus should not be on keeping up with the group ahead but in fact staying ahead of the group behind you. Trying to keep up only makes the traffic jam worse.
