One thing we haven’t discussed is that really the greatest source of slow play in wgt is putting. There are two main reasons, and they are interrelated. First, it has become almost impossible to win tournaments these days when a player misses more than a very few inside of six feet. That makes those putts more important than ever, which makes looking at them from more angles and for a longer time practically a given. Secondly, the increasing speed of the greens leaves fewer tap ins and more comebackers in the four-to-five foot range, which slows play through out .. And a fast putt with some break has to be more intricately read than a slow putt that won’t break as much or as subtly.
