The PGA Tour has a serious playback problem This should be resolved soon.
CBS Sports On-Course announcer Dottie Pepper scolded professionals In the case of a terrible pace of the last round at last week’s insurance, farmers opened, calling players to “respect” “fans, transmission and their competitors.”
The problem raised his head again on Sunday at Pebble Beach.
During the last round of AT & t Pebble Beach Pro-AM, Tom Kim became the latest golfer who will face the anger of broadcast for his slow game. This time it was Frank Nobilo from Golf Channel and others calling Kim that he took over a minute to hit the sixth Par-5 hole.
Kim finished wiping the ball into the rocks and had to lose her, which led to the surprise of the broadcast.
“A little smaller could help,” said one of the broadcasters.
“It wasn’t worth waiting,” Nobilo hit.
In general, it took Kim more than 40 seconds to turn to his ball, and then another 25 to make a swing.
PGA Tour can work on shrinking fields and sometimes condensing, but the easiest repair of a slow problem is to start smooth players. If you hit them on the results card, and thus, their wallet will have motivation to accelerate.
Rounds reminiscent of the slogan and the endless waving will continue until PGA Tour begins to strictly enforce the rules of the game pace, and their grades may still suffer until they realize that they have to speed up the situation to succeed in the era in which attention is a currency .
