Slow Play on Tour - put on the clock

[Deleted member 15344]

Mr. Pepperell is definitely not impressed;

England's Eddie Pepperell said: "Slow players do this to their partners, making the game less enjoyable.

"Problem is, the unaffected single-minded twit in this instance doesn't care much for others."

Apparently Fleetwood wasn’t happy at all and spoke to the referee a few times but his stance was “you haven’t lost any ground” - Fleetwoods’ reply apparently “ that’s prob because they are slow in front as well”

refuse to enter a few events and explain it's because of slow play.
The loss of the megastar names will make the broadcasters sit up and take notice.

Alternatively or in addition, take it up with their 'Union' the PGA Tour committee. They simply build the requirements into the Terms of Competition and tell the TD that the referees must enforce the terms.

Blue in Munich
“you haven’t lost any ground”

That is, as I indicated above, the primary criterion I'm afraid

Get the feeling that this is going to come to a head soon, PGA cant be happy with the bad press around it especially with plenty of Pros coming out and speaking about it now.

It's a shame they're almost being forced into doing something by opinions on SM rather than recognising that there is an issue themselves and putting measures in place.

it is but if thats what it takes then so be it now, theyve had more than enough chances to do something

TV money speaks louder than SM it seems

It is good but needs the US broadcasters to really got at them as well , really go to town on it

What incentive have they got?

If viewers get bored with waiting for the putt to be made, they just open another can of beer and have a longer show to watch.

So I see according to DeChambeau its everyone elses fault apart from his own, not one acceptance that hes slow and over does it far too often.

Get him on the clock and get him penalised!!!

We've reserved Byron a spot with our seniors going out about 8.20 on Monday. He'll be finished around 1.10 having had a nice clear course in front of him. And lots behind.

Thanks.
That fits in with the sort of pace we set for elite amateur competitions.

PS. Where did you see that reported?

What, 4 hours for a 2 ball?
Ridiculous.
3-3.15 is plenty of time for a 2 ball in my opinion

This is the standard for national and county level 3 ball
