@ChrisinSWFL@NUCLRGOLF Sitting at the fourteenth tee, watching players hit their second shots to 13th green for eagle opps, or laying up to play pitch shots, then teeing off 14 tee.
My thoughts on slow play on tour:
-Yes there are super slow players out there. They aren’t ready when it’s their turn, start talking to their caddies once it’s their turn, they take a few more practice swings, a few more looks at the hole. It sucks to play with them regularly. But it’s less players than you might think. It takes a select few slow players to slow down the entire wave.
-Would a shot clock help? Yes it would. I think the threat of the clock itself will really make certain guys faster.
-Tour has shied away from that because it would require a bunch more volunteers plus training which could be an issue and the inevitable arguments between the shot clock guy and players would be a massive headache for everyone involved. What do you do if you’re on the 12th tee at Augusta and you feel the wind change completely? Or a bug lands on your ball? Do you have to hit it anyway and watch it go in the water?
-But you know what, you all changed me, I’m in favor of it. Let’s do it. Start conservatively but we have to do something because fans hate it.
-It may be counterintuitive but the focus should not be on keeping up with the group ahead but in fact staying ahead of the group behind you. Trying to keep up only makes the traffic jam worse.
@Mike_kim714 I can’t even imagine the intensity of the moment when a professional golfer has to play every shot. The complexity of the course designs, the weather, the lie, career implications of a bad shot, etc, etc. to put a pro on a clock seems severe.
One of the winners wouldn’t give me his address cuz he was worried that my account had been hacked so I’ll pick a new winner on this separate tweet in the next 10 min. Retweet and or like.

Alec Bohm is 🔥🔥4 RBIs last night so during his 11 game hitting streak, he has 16 RBIs & 22 hits. He leads Phils with a .354 batting ave, 26 RBIs and best slugging%. Only 1 player has more RBIs in baseball & only 2 players have a better batting ave.

@Mike_kim714 Something I’ve implemented recently is after a bad shot when I feel the urge to get mad, frustrated or want to blame my caddie for something, I use it as a mental trigger to take 5 Miller Lite 16oz. I usually feel way better afterwards and it breaks the potential downward spiral.
Doing a small giveaway as a thank you for 50k followers! What would you guys want? You have to be a follower and like or retweet this tweet. I’ll pick a winner after 3M
In 1987, Larry Bird posted a quadruple-double when he scored 28 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, dished out 12 assists, and saved 10 dollars by cutting his hair his goddamn self.
Nolan Ryan’s arm was so damaged by the first 5000 innings of his career he was only able to strike out 16 Blue Jays when he no-hit them at age 44. It’s a cautionary tale for all young pitchers.
