Default Pace Of Play Players Chmpionship
Just finished watching the final group at Sawgrass. Their pace of play was + 5 hours and 45 minutes. As a comparison the average recommended pace of play on championship courses here in The Villages is 4 hours 15 minutes. The pros today played in threesomes. We senior Villagers play in foursomes. We amateurs average +18 strokes over the pros at best. The pros rarely have a lost ball due to the gallery watching or rarely hit a provisional. May I suggest to these guys "ready golf". As my wife asks me many times how can you watch that - it's like watching grass grow. Perhaps she has a point.
