Opinion

Do you suppose that since Tiger Woods has declared slow play to be a problem, players will no longer dawdle over putts and agonize when they’re between clubs? No. J.B. Holmes (notoriously slow player, afflicted with a serious case of the twitches) is right. They are playing for a great deal of money, and they’ll take all the time they want. Fine. None of us are playing for that kind of money. There’s just no reason that a round of golf should take more than four hours.
