I'm away playing in my own team match - Scottish county finals so not looking likely to see any of it.

Don't understand why people get upset with the face painting, just a bit of fun. And I think it's professional golf that's slow, not just women's.
 
I enjoyed what I saw today.

It's golf, tough competition and there are some quite attractive ladies done up to the nines. What is not to like ? Oh and I put it on pause, and let the coverage get half an hour ahead, so I can then fast forward through the ads. Who says I can't do technology.:ears:

Was that on the Betamax - top loader, or one of the new ones?
 
I watched most of it today and the golf has been really good,charlie making five birdies in a row was pretty special as was Cigandas eagle at the 17th to get back to all square.
 
Recorded it earlier as I was working & golfing myself.
Enjoy watching this event.
Charlie Hull just seems to love the pressure.
 
Its getting so slow now that even the commentators are getting wound up.

Great result this morning and looking good.

If I had paid to watch this I would be asking for my money back as there is no excuse for not completing yesterday's game even with a rain break. For gods sake they are only playing eight games all day.

Great golf being ruined by the time it takes. I lost the will to live watching it!
 
Mel Reid has a bit about her, surprised her and Hull have not been paired together after yesterday. I've not seen Hull and Peterson speak to each other yet !!!!! Love the Sandra Gal and Catriona Matthew pairing.

Part of the problem is perception.
I'm not saying then play isn't slow - it is.
It's just it appears slower than it probably is because there's so little going on.
With only 4 matches out on the course there are going to be times when there's simply nothing happening.
Golf is a slow sport to watch unless every hole has a match on it. Then there's always something going on and it appears to be moving faster.

Do we accept it for what it is, slow?

That then filters down to our level and then we lose people from the game.

It's time pro game was speeded up in my view and that can only be done by issuing penalties and not just to the odd Chinese amateur.
 
Looks like Creamer and Pressel could be choking here. Let's hope so!


Edit.. Looking like a huge 3rd shot needed from them into the 603yrd par 5.

I reckon If Petterson & Hull win this hole they'll go on to Half the match​

Absolutely agree.
I'm not arguing with the slow play calls...it is slow.
But its probably not much slower than a "normal" Tour event.
Thers s only 4 matches on the course - its going to look slower than it is.

Yes something has to be done but even if they were playing 3 hour round pace it would still appear slow.
