Genesis Open zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The last tee time was 1.15pm
Sun sets at 18.30.
Final group had to stop due to bad light
They had completed 14 holes.

Was there a delay anywhere?

 

[Dan2501]

Was there a delay anywhere?

Yeah. JB Holmes and Kevin Na two tee-times apart.

 

[Hobbit]

Yeah. JB Holmes and Kevin Na two tee-times apart.

They could finish in a different time zone than the regular guys.

 

[bobmac]

The last group were heading for a 6hour+ round for a 3 ball and the group in front were 2 holes clear.
Ridiculous

 

[Dan2501]

It's a joke. I don't understand how 6 hour rounds can be remotely conducive to good golf. Far too long to be spending on a golf course, playing for money or not.

 

[Hobbit]

If its 6+hours its over 30 mins a hole. Two holes behind is more than an hour. That's appalling...

 

[NorwichBanana]

If its 6+hours its over 30 mins a hole. Two holes behind is more than an hour. That's appalling...

that would be 12 holes.

12 x 30 mins = 6 hours

20 minute per hole is 6 hours a round.

...should be an instant DQ. New players watch this and do similar on the golf course as they think 5-6 hours is normal!!

 

[SaintHacker]

I thought they were doing something about it this year? Or was that the European tour only?

 

[Dogma]

I’ve been watching some of the feature groups today, and some of the holes are just set up from the off to be slow.

The driveable 10th hole for example; players are having to wait about 15 mins between their first and second shot as there are people on the green.

 

[bobmac]

Yesterday was even worse.
5 groups failed to finish before it got dark

Watching cantlay is painful this evening, shuffling his feet numerous times before taking any of his shot

 

[Bazzatron]

They're in danger of missing the start of the Masters

 

[Imurg]

Final group - 2 hrs 50 to the turn.....
God help them if there's a playoff...

Just...... HIT...... it!! Aaaaaaargh!

Looking like Cantlay and Na in a playoff, probably continuing into tomorrow!

Happy for Bubba


Hope Cantley is not contending too often really don't want to see him play again, seriously slow

Cantley more suited to Strictly - infuriatingly slow with all that shuffling

I don't normally moan about slow play but switched it on when Cantley had a green side chip!!! Jeeeez. It was like he was stood on hot coals!!

Shamelessly stolen but check out this Kevin Na GIF:rofl:

Some of the pace of play was disgraceful- just look at this vid of Na taking nearly 2 mins on a 6 inch putt
