Who is the slowest tour player

Funniest thing I have ever seen when it came to slow play was at the Dunhill Links in 2017. We were at Carnoustie on the Friday and I forget who Shane Lowry was playing with but he was none too impressed. Lowry had missed the fairway to the right of 14 but he had a good lie and was still able to go for the green. His playing partner was in the bunker on the left. No chance of going for the green, none at all, it was so bad Phil would have been laying up. Anyway, the guy decides that he was going to go for it and he was waiting for the green some 230 yards away to clear.

 

Lowry is stood about 5 feet away from us and starts speaking to his caddie. There is just something about the Irish accent when it is p'd off and using all the four letter words you could imagine under the sun.

 

The entire time he was waiting in between taking drinks of his coffee he was explaining to his caddie in expletive filled sentence just why it was ridiculous that his playing partner was laying up. There were maybe 4 or 5 of us stood watching and we were all like school kids getting a row in front of the class. Trying not to laugh but failing to stifle it completely.

 

Bubba and JT played in 3:30 today

 

I tried to check in on the early coverage and couldn't believe how far round they had gotten.

Furyk setting up to the ball and then stepping away would be annoying to play with, I know it is annoying to watch

 

On 18th today he was right up the edge of water with a lefty stance. He stood on the edge and pretending to him a bigger swing and took him forever to just punch back 30 yds back in play like a chicken. I thought he was going for something spectacular to watch.

 

The guy is already very difficult to like and that made it worse (for me at least LOL)

-- "The slow-play habit, let me say, is like the cigarette habit -- it is so hard to break that a man is wisest not to begin it." -- Jack Nicklaus

That's an interesting quote from Nicklaus. In his first major win at Oakmont, he said video footage of him smoking cigarettes on the golf course made him realize what a bad example he was setting for kids and he gave up the smoking immediately.

 

Seems he was not able to give up the slow play process, but it worked pretty great for him!

Most of those nominated are American. Serious question; why is that, does it start in college?

 

 

 

 

 

I think it start earlier than that at Jr. golf. Too many teachers actually teaching them to be deliberate and methodical. Not that those are bad, just keep things moving. Last year I was out solo and ran into a kid playing a practice round. His dad was in the cart with him not playing, just kinda coaching and being a caddie without carrying the bag. He could play, at 15 he was probably better than I am.

 

But he walked all over the green reading putts, 2 dozen practice swings, he would walk up to the green and inspect the green for shots from 50 yards and all kinds of other nonsense range finder plus yardage book. Pre and post shot conversations with his pop, "should i fade it, watch out for the bunker on the right son", "ok Jr, when you look at this 135 yard par 3 what do you see"? "How are you going to play this hole"?" etc etc etc. 

 

 Finally I just said, I am going to take off, I dont have time for a 5 hour round when it is just you and me and we are both on pace to shoot under 80. so I took off when we got to a green and never looked back.

who's the fastest player? ... rickie has to be up there, along with dj ...
John Daly and Mark Calcavecchia played in 2 hrs 3 minutes.--and got reprimanded.  Slow play is the fault of the PGA Tour.
