  I'd prefer to cover my genitals with honey, stick them in a beehive and then hit the beehive with a stick!

  I became reeeeal weak in the legs when I read this,,,LOL. Sounds like Chinese torture, no pun intended.

  30 secs is speed golf for me. I am slow (for my own reasons) and can do nothing about it.

  Now that sounds like fun

   

  It's hysterical WW .. especially when your on a hole at Kia .. greenside in some high rough ... or low weeds .. and the caddy gives you a chip shot .... and it takes you 5 or 6 shots to move it 1 foot to get out ... 

  I changed my F key 3 times when we used to play this game :)

  Oh man ... that was some giggle fest as I recall ... or up against a bunker face 260 yards out and it gives you 3 iron ... intentionally miss hit it waaaaaaaaaaaay late to shoot it sideways into 40/50 rough .... or OB ... try again ... lol ...

  Great idea. I cant stand playing with people who take more than 30 or 40 seconds to drive also. What the hell is the hold up! These guys have fast computers too(looking at load time). Played with a lady TL recently, in a "friendly"-as she said-alt shot game. She took 80 seconds on every shot and won 3 and 2. I asked her to play me and partner on a 30 second clock at Merion in a friendly game, and you guessed it, it wasn't happening. She said she likes to relax and take her time while playing. Total ***. She had a whole book on every hole i'd say.

  My original post was only to see what interest there might be in a quick game. I too get frustrated with some players who seem to "spin the wheel" before and after every one of their shots. And sometimes, they falter and quit instead of forfeiting when it's their turn. I was hoping WGT would consider adding this feature, or even offer tournaments with the speed game in mind. 

  Not everyone wants to put their level and rep on the line, and I get that. But, it seems like this has enough people agreeing to the idea to at least consider it.

  Hi. I think there is room for the 20 second shot clock. Bring it on.

  Ask anyone who has ever played with me, I rarely take over 15 seconds, that is because of the zoom, if I take over 30 seconds it is to grab a beer. I use no gimmicks, even in real golf I take about 30 seconds max, you don't need to walk around your ball for 90 seconds, it is what it is, hit it.
