Solheim Cup

[Deleted member 16999]

It is slow, that can't be argued. If I was playing behind them I'd have gone home by now.
But, as Thomas Bjorn said this morning, now isn't the time to be having a go at slow play.
It needs to be done week in week out
Yesterday the officials handed out 1 bad time......
If conditions are tricky they're going to take as long as they can. It's up to the officials to penalise.
And, to be honest, I've watched practically all of it so far and you don't get the feeling that it's as painfully slow as it obviously is.
You don't get a shot every few seconds because there's only 16 players out there at anyone time ( at the moment) and only 24 tomorrow.
I think a lot of people are just picking on the girls because they're an easy target.
Pick on ALL Professional Tour players all the time....week in, week out.

Exactly, it’s nothing new, even if you do a search on the Forum for “Solheim Cup” you’ll find every thread going back to the 2011 Solheim Cup and every thread has people saying they won’t be watching because of how slow the women are and then some moaning about slow play during the events.
Sadly nothing has changed, move on and appreciate the golf.

“Jesus... it wasn’t that bad!”

Lexi get annoyed when a caddie shouts FORE after she hit a wide one.
Not sure what her problem is there, it got very close to someone.

Can someone just explain to me the need of a fanny pack / bum bag?

Was listening on the internet radio, but the clock struck 7pm and they (the beeb) stopped.

So they could have stayed in the warm and dry, played a bit of beer-pong and said.
Ah let's just go out and do singles tomorrow

Better than it looked at one stage.

Just watching the highlights.

I always thought Gleneagles was in Scotland. Ok, it's a tad breezy, but the way they are dressed, it must be somewhere near the North Pole?

Anyone been there today?. Was it really that cold?

Wasn't in Gleneagles but played this morning in that wind. The wind itself wasn't particularly cold but it got colder as you stayed out in it. Two rounds played at a slow pace and I think keeping warm would be pretty important to keeping the swing going.

Not sure those ear muffs will take off. Big ask tomorrow now it's tied at 8-8

You know it's cold when you see the caddys wearing snoods and bobbles...

Murine Madill (sp?) has got ripped in about them about how long they are taking.

My son was there today, said it was pretty cold like with the wind.

So much negativity.

Golf needs to grow the girls/ladies game. If that includes playing Abba on the first tee who cares, certainly the Korda sisters got right into it and had a dance, guess that's the spirit in which it was intended.

Yes it's slow but there is a lot on the line and it's the woman's Ryder Cup so cut it some slack. We all love the Ryder Cup so why knock the ladies equivalent?

I will agree with Phil, the lack of "gimmies" is frustrating and probably a wee bit embarrassing at times. That said it's a lot more enjoyable than certain people think.

Tomorrow's singles will be excellent viewing.
