If you are an avid golf fan than you know what this is about. Watching the PGA tournaments is a slow torture that just should not be.... How do you think they can speed it up? Leave some comments with your ideas....
Complaints about slow play on the PGA Tour have been around forever,
which is about how long it has been since anyone was given a one-stroke penalty
for taking too long to hit a shot.
Actually, it was 16 years ago at the Byron Nelson Classic. And the victim
of that one-stroke penalty is now a rules official who carries a stop watch.
“It was in Dallas,” Dillard Pruitt said Tuesday. “For two bad times in a
round, I got a one-stroke penalty, a $1,000 fine and I had to play in the last
group the next two weeks as long as it wasn’t an invitational. That one stroke
cost me $9,600 official money. The fact I can still remember that tells you
something.”
The policy hasn’t changed much over the years.
