Im thinking the this same thing as Razr here. Lots of talk about it and nothing changes. But I think something needs to be done though. But what?

It would not be fair but penalize all players in a group that has fallen behind; $5000 each and catch up. Second offense, 2 strokes each.
Peer pressure will take care of the rest.
I hate the slow play on tour and the PGA really needs to do something about it. I have said before I think the pros should be able to use GPS's for their yardages instead of pacing everything off, and make a penalty for multiple slow play warnings in a round. If you fall behind half a hole, you get a warning and must catch up to the group ahead. Do it again and the group gets a one stroke penalty and so on.
I agree on the GPS's. Way past time to advance that part of their game. It would help with the speed of every group.
The guys on GC Morning Drive were just talking about this and I agree with what they were saying. It would help immensely if they just started enforcing the "shot clock" that to my understanding already exists in the rules. E.g. you have 50 seconds to make your shot if you're first to play in the group and 40 seconds for the remaining players.
I like this thought. Because for the most part, don't they use it for practice rounds anyway? I know it's not traditional in a sense but I wouldn't mind seeing this. Test it on a few tournaments to see if it helps.
I, for one, HATE the fact that people are thinking about moving to GPS. I may be a traditionalist in this but I think golf is more of a 2 man game than a 1 man game. Some caddies have talked guys into winning tournaments, and some caddies have talked guys right out of winning tournaments. The GPS to me will make things too robotic.
but a caddy and player could still discuss wind, etc when looking at the numbers....
hmm. To each his own.
Here is an even better idea. Make a set time limit for length of time between shots. 7 minutes or 8 minutes or whatever. Excluding a ruling from an official or looking for a ball in a hazard. If a player goes beyond that period of time, enforce a 2 stroke penalty. Turn a birdie into a bogey just because a player couldn't decide between a faded 8 iron or a knock down 6.
Ya but then were back to square one. The caddy can rhyme off the distance to the pin just as fast as a gps in most cases. Maybe not when a guy hits it out into the boonies. Whats the point of GPS if theyre still going to talk everything over?
Seemed like Kevin Na was really playing slow on Sunday. I understand that everyone has the right to their own routine, but man a live it just seemed like he was way to jittery!
makes perfect sense. Golf is trying to become more fan friendly so let's eliminate the fans altogether. brilliant thought.
I can't logically have a debate with someone who swears that 2+2=5, are you the Slazenger guy who enjoys hitting onto the green with others on it? Sounds like it. Stay long my friend....
Two stroke penalty for tour players for slow play. And play through (with their permission) slow players on your home course.

As I am a very fast pace player , playing with Kevin Na my game would suffer drastically plus all my hair would be out
