  • JB Holmes - what would you have done?

PA-PLAYA You either agree that J.B is a slow player or not.

I think he is. What do you guys think? Yes or No?

No he's not slow he's got his own category of slow 🐌

PA-PLAYA Again, I ask the question... did you or did you not tune-in?

And if not - why?

I watched it all day and I found it to be no different than any other televised golf event. Conditions were tough and lots of boo boo's by lots of players. All of the final pairings were stepping on themselves on the final holes. I found it to be entertaining golf. Play is always slow with the final pairing on Sunday. And add in the many commercials. It is what it is. If you don't like televised golf don't watch. This whole topic would never have been an issue if the commentators had not run out of skin salve after Tiger finished.

    Rickochet

    hah! very true about the Tiger salve lol!

    Glad you enjoyed it. I probably would've watched, but was too busy rearranging my sock drawer. 😉 lol

    I'll start watching a week or two prior to the Masters, I guess. Might catch some bits and pieces here and there, but really just not motivated to watch.

    When I'm actively playing - I'm much more inclined to be interested. Which is basically April through October, more or less.

    Doesn't help that I'm currently undergoing a home remodel project. Getting up very early, going to bed very late, and just tired. lol...

    Looking forward to March!

      If they do go to a shot clock, it better be used on the greens as well. That's where I get red assed. Putt the fucking thing would ya!! Geezus H Christ!!!

        And make alignment marks on the balls nonconforming. The pro's spend too much time aligning that mark on an 18" putt. What makes it worse is that the public hacks see this on TV and do it on the course as well. 😡

        PA-PLAYA He needs to address his slow play.

        He won't. The only one that ever has, to my recollection, is Kevin Na. And I think it killed his game.

          Par4QC He won't. The only one that ever has, to my recollection, is Kevin Na. And I think it killed his game

          I think Sergio did. When he first came on tour he did the regrip on his clubs ad nauseum at address. Not sure what got him cured of that.

          Rickochet I would like to see JB's comments about all of this.

          He said he was still trying to win!

          Sure didn't look like a winning layup to me.

            Par4QC He said he was still trying to win!

            Sure didn't look like a winning layup to me.

            He was trying to make a winning decision. Turns out it wasn't the winning decision. Shit happens.

              PA-PLAYA Again, I ask the question... did you or did you not tune-in?

              And if not - why?

              Well, I worked 10 hrs. Sunday. But did tune it a bit at work, just a few holes here and there, to see how TW would finish. Now, I'm not saying everyone was taking way too long, but on 1 tee, TW and his group waited 23 minutes to hit. Then to top it off, I last saw TW tee off on #8(his 17th hole). I got home a bit later, maybe quite a bit later, walked into the living room and the wife was watching TW. I told her it must be a tape delay because an hour ago he teed off on #8, and he was just now waiting to hit his second shot on #9!!

              Did I mention the fact that they went off in 3s on both 9s?? That always speeds things up. So I hear them say.🙄

              Not saying, again, they were all playing with their dicks, just maybe each other's.

              This is why I quit playing tournament golf. Not because someone was playing with my dick, but because they were slow. I mean slow playing. Golf, not with my dick. No one touched it. Well, I did, but I had to pee.

                PA-PLAYA Getting up very early, going to bed very late, and just tired. lol...

                How's my world feel? Been doing that since 11/5.

                Forget the shot clock, a swift kick to the gonads will do....JB best get a cup, although given his layup, he only needs a peanut shell!

                Par4QC not with my dick. No one touched it. Well, I did, but I had to pee.

                Well Rex, did you use an interlocking or overlapping grip?😜

                  DON"T ANSWER THAT!!!

                  Probably because he took so damn long. 😉

                  The last scramble I played in was 6 1/2 hours in the afternoon on a 95° and humid day. Never again.

                  IMO JB was Slow....

                  Will be interesting to see how his fellow pro's treat him. So far I haven't heard one of them justify JB actions.

                  Interesting Sergio did his regrip, not even close to JB's time and he got roasred.
