  30 too fast, 90 too long.  45,60,75 would be good.

  30 too fast for me to plead to my opponent to concede the game, 90 too long, I should not have to wait that amount of time to bail and quit.  45,60,75 would be good, I am an expert at quitting the game in those time frames, .

  Fixed it for ya.

  The shot-clock that is now, and so far, forever is 90 sec. In a alt-shot game it is normal to have 4 players at different levels of play, different WGT birthdays, and of course, different skill-sets. Many years ago, I had times when 90 sec was too fast without rushing shots. As it is now, I can't imagine ever requiring that much time. But in a game with 4 different players, I must see it as being fair to provide the 90 sec. I may need 20 sec while a newer player is still jumpy about not having, 90 sec, from time to time, because they want to decide on their best effort with confidence.  ~ SP ~

  I guess the guy is so famous for it that he's almost lovable, as long as you don't make the same mistake twice, lol.

  Too funny you say that. I did just that-gave him the benefit of the doubt and tried anew.

  Pffft.  Lasted 4 holes.  :-D
