    it is. And it's funny that the rules are ALWAYS enforced otherwise. This one seems to be largely ignored.

      I just wanted to add that I specifically set out to tape the golf I watch now for this reason.
      Fast forward thru commercials.
      Find a guy or girl that's got a crouch & back off then back in and back off routine I fast forward that.
      Walking around before set up I skip that too.

      I couldn't take it anymore and now I avoid reading the results and watch a 3 hour broadcast on half the time.


      You lose a bit of the build up to shots, the rhythm but less painful overall.
      I'm sure many think like me and do similar.

        If they are truly committed to speeding up play, putting the players on a public clock (shot clock?) and enforcing it is the only way.

        It does represent some departure from the formal rules of the game I suspect, but would do wonders for the game.

        I am confident that it would not take more than 2-3 players losing a stroke to start the whole group coming around.

        +1 to what Sharkhark said - other than the Majors, I intend to record a lot of the rounds this year vs watching live. It was a revelation last year, that hitting the +30 seconds button did not have me missing many shots...

          I think i'll have to start doing this as well. And you're right it's funny to push the FF +30 second button and still have the same player setting up for his shot.

          As for the question that weirfan posted, I think amateur pace of play is a more multi-factorial. As much as I do think younger players are mimicking their idols on tour there may be other influences such as how tee times are spread out on a given course. This added with players playing the wrong set of tees, playing multiple balls off the tee and no marshalls to speak of all add minutes to our games.

          Ironically here we are complaining of slow pace of play on TV and the pga needs to penalize players, the same thing needs to be done on our local courses. I've been playing for 20 years now and I have yet to see a slow group in front of me being asked to pick up their golf balls and move to the next tee due to slow play....yes I know i'm a small sample size but I think most of you will agree that enforcement on our local courses is also atrocious

            I have no problem with JDays remarks, and I don't think pros playing slow has any effect on the pace amateurs play with. Most amateurs I've seen don't even putt anything inside 2 feet and I think that's where pros are noticeably slower than amateurs. My experience has been that the leading cause of slow play among amateurs is that they simply aren't very good at golf and take a long time and many strokes to get the ball in the hole. That and some do not seem care about the people playing behind them.

            Most amateurs have no clue what pros are thinking about when they are taking their time before a shot, so to try to play slow just because pros do it would be extremely foolish. There are probably some idiots who do it, but I don't think it is anywhere close to being the main cause of slow play.

              I meant to post in the general thread about pace of play vs this one specifically about Jason.

              They could all speed it up really.

              I can hack out a 115 round in 4 hours with 6 lost balls.

              Their talent could support a better pace, but there is no incentive it seems.

                I've never tried FF'ing golf but its great for watching NFL/CFL. Data states that the ball is only in play for 11 minutes of a 60 minute football game. And often pro teams dont snap the ball until 10 seconds or less left in the 40 second play clock. So you get to fast forward through all the pre-snap uselessness, watch the play, FF through most of the play clock, same goes for commercials and most of halftime. Cuts a three hour game to an hour or less.

                  Definitely the way to go, I'll add that I also FF through some of the mindless talk from some commentators.

                    Shark's comments are right on. I want to watch. I like watching the shots. I just cannot endure the whole 4 days . So I too will attempt to watch a tape. And use fast forward and not try to use this site to find out the results

                      Sometimes I do like to hear the banter between plays -- particularly in the first few minutes when they're exhausting their "We spoke to Billy Bob on Friday and ..." material. Otherwise, the 30 second skip button on my PVR control suits the NFL previously. Except of course when the offense goes hurry-up.
