What would the penalty do?

Speed them the eff up.

They should have been warned already and this should be the point of levying the rules on them.

But, as always, all bark, no bite, and the players KNOW it.

But that's what I'm curious of...what does it do to speed them up? What's the penalty about it and what's different than just saying to them they need to try and play faster? I honestly just don't know.

Because penalizing strokes gets people motivated real quick .

They know it will never happen so the warning is useless.

I really, really, really wish they would finally use this group as an example and drop the rules on them.




Though, I feel like this post is made most weeks on tour.

YOu drop penalty strokes on a guy, and EVERY guy that gets out of pace and watch the rounds start moving faster.
 
penalize the guy who is halfway to the grand slam & 3 shots out of the lead.....NO F'ing way EVER
 
Seems like pretending to enforce rules but not really doing anything is an important skill set. Maybe WWF refs can start moonlight as golf officials?

That's right, he's not 14 years old playing in the Masters.
 
What putter is Goosen using? He's been money with it last couple of rounds.

If they were to follow the rules on time/bad-time then the players could literally be penalized via stroke, messing with someones payday and tournament positioning would sure as hell speed them up. But, pace of play rules are "hollow" rules on the tours.

I didn't realize they would give out actual penalty strokes. So thank you I didn't know. I've never seen it done haha.

Loss of stroke(s) for slow play. The multiple reminders does nothing. Putting them on the clock is when the start of the penalty comes in. But the crazy things is if they are put on the clock then get back on pace they are good then can slow down again and start the process all over.

It was marketing.
Check the pace of play rules for both organizations...

Dont make it a ****ing rule, dont pretend you care, and dont insist that pros and amateurs play from the same rules, unless you are willing to enforce them.
 
Damn good shot by Jordan there.
