The trend of playing golf at a slow pace on the PGA Tour has trickled down through the mini-tour ranks, college golf, junior tours and on to recreational golfers who emulate the pros in their approach.
It’s been a problem for decades. Yet there’s no reason competitive rounds of golf should take five hours to complete, let alone recreational rounds, no matter the course.
“Slow play is killing the game,” said WindStone head professional Jeff Craig.
