Jason Day's New Years resolution is

[upsidedown]

Is that not just because old people hate everything

Of course

 

[freddielong]

Interestingly in our recent survey at our club the younger players do not see pace of play at ours an issue where as us oldies do

That's cause all the youngsters are pretending to be Day and Spieth and taking an age over every shot they don't have anywhere else to be to us grown ups 5 and a half hours is too long cause we need to get the grass cut and take the kids swimming.

I've not noticed this being a problem with our juniors I must say.

I think I'd take all day if it got me to world number 1

It's not the Juniors cos they race round it's the 25 to 35 single guys, you'd think they'd need to get a move on as they need to get poshed up for a night on the toon

I think Day has made a rod for his own back, BUT that depends on the PGA being bold enough to put him on the clock, especially if he's doing it regularly. I don't think they will

If you believe what you read on the internet, then yes.

i remember one of the commentators saying "during his final round jason day earnt $10,000 a stroke. but if you paid him by the hour he wouldn't be on minimum wage"

No one gives him stick for it but apparently Tiger is/was one of slowest players on tour, it's not just pre shot time its general stepping off shots, calling out referees etc etc which slows the whole field up and a tactic designed to throw opponents off their games. Was forgiven as we all watched in awe.

Furyk, Crane, Bradley and more lately Speith seem the worst. Historically Langer was pretty awful. Didn't realise Day was also a slowcoach.

No easy solution alas.

How is it known that he was doing it to throw people off? Or just assumed?

No you can't prove it and I took this from a Golf Punk online article that put him at 4th slowest but this is Tiger Woods, a perfectionist in everything he did re preparation to play, golf is 80% between the ears and they're under intense pressure so actions would have had an element of getting into competitors heads in order to gain advantage and win, that's sports, tennis players do it, cricketers do it, they're all at it. Nothing wrong with it but he did end up slowing the field deliberately. Why else would he do that?

80% between the ears? You could put tiger woods and Einstein inside my head and I'd still not hit a par round......

tiger woods skill put players off. Nit him playing slow. Irrespective of whether he was fast or not.

 

[USER1999]

I was at the Grove, watching the golf, and to be fair, it was pretty boring. They were all painfully slow. Guess what? Most of what i saw was rubbish. Slow rubbish. If they think playing slowly makes them play better, they are wrong. So wrong. Get a wriggle on, it might just help.

They do when they see the leaders teeing off at 8pm UK time and then at midnight when they are ready to go to bed the leaders are just about to tee off on the 12th.
