A hearty 94 percent of poll respondents think slow play is a problem that needs to be fixed in tournament golf. And they heap the lion’s share of blame for slow play in the game on the shoulders of the players and tours (cumulative 79 percent). Most generally agree with PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka, who strongly weighed in on the matter before winning at Oak Hill, saying, “it’s never quick.” “There is nothing worse than slow play on the golf course, even at the high-handicapper level,” Habel said. “It can literally sap the fun out of a day on the course and break a player's rhythm. At the pro level that tactic is used as gamesmanship, but there need to be penalties for repeat offenders. I know there is a lot of money on the line but come on, hit it already.” When it comes to naming names, however, the general consensus regarding the worst slow-play offenders on both the men’s and women’s tours is that we simply don’t have the data to make a fair accusation. Patrick Cantlay gets more than his share of blame because he’s the No. 4 player in the world and he gets shown a lot more on television because he’s in contention more often than others. So “too many” was the most common answer when we tried to point fingers at particular offenders. “Institutions and individuals in golf have failed to associate pace of play with golf's core principles of sportsmanship and respect,” says Tim Gavrich, senior writer for GolfPass. “The bottom line is that playing slowly is disrespe...

How long are Professional Golf Tour players allowed to play each shot? How long are professional Golf Tour players allotted per shot? Professional Golf Tour Players are allotted 45 seconds per shot. Former Australian captain Mark Taylor has had several nicknames over his playing career. What is time par in golf? Under Rule 33-1, tournament organizers (like a professional golf tour) can set specific time limits for a stroke, hole or round, which is often called "time par." The PGA Tour and other professional tours have specific time rules. On the PGA Tour, players are advised to have 40 seconds to hit a shot from when it's their turn. When do players have 60 seconds to hit a shot? On the PGA Tour, there are situations where players actually have 60 seconds to hit a shot: When they're the first to hit a tee shot on a hole When they're first to hit an approach shot When they're first to hit a third shot on a par 5 When they're first to hit a shot around the green, like a bunker shot or chip Does the pace of play matter in golf? In golf, pace of play matters. Lots of golfers can't stand 18-hole rounds which drag into five or six hours of their day. Part of golf's pace of play problem is many golfers simply choose to take as long as they need to hit a shot, or they don't get moving quickly enough when it is their turn to play a shot. How many seconds do you have to hit a shot on the PGA Tour? The PGA Tour and other professional tours have specific time rules. On the PGA Tour, p...

These are fractious times. The nation is divided. But at least there are two things on which we all can agree: presidential campaigns drag on far too long, and As DeChambeau made clear is in his testy, But as individual golfers, each of us has control of our own conduct; we can be part of the problem, or aid in the solution. Which leads us to an age-old question: How long should it take the average golfer to play 18 holes? We’re not scientists. But neither is DeChambeau (he only plays one on TV), so for the good of the game we’ve reserved the right to hash out some rough numbers and come up with an answer. For starters, let’s assume an empty golf course. It’s just you in your foursome, playing in the first group out. Let’s forget about the slope and rating of the course, which have been shown to have a negligible impact on how quickly players get around. When we say that you’re an average golfer, we mean “average” according to the numbers: a 15-handicap, destined to take around 90 shots over 18 holes. As an average golfer, you drive it an average of 208 yards (that’s according to a 2017 USGA study). Given the distance you hit the ball, you should be playing a 5,400-yard course (that’s according to PGA of America recommendations). But knowing your ego, we recognize that you’re probably not going to tee it that far forward. So, let’s assume you’re playing from 6,000 yards instead. Still with us? Off we go. Six-thousand yards = 18,000 feet = 3.4 miles. That’s how long your go...
