Shooting Down Slow Play- The Shot Clock

The golfer’s stance is a time honored and practiced tradition, and to any of us who play the course, we had better have a good one. If you think I’m talking about legs shoulder length, head down, clubs aligned, etc. that’s not the golfer’s stance.

The golfer’s stance is that pose you strike when you’re waiting for someone to take their shot off the tee. You spend a considerable amount of time with that club leaning, one foot over the other stance, and that’s a problem golf need to attend to. Many men and women who love golf, who rush to the links whenever they can, still don’t watch the sport. It’s often a joke that only old men watch the sport, and fall asleep doing so, but with the way the entertainment world has developed, this is kind of true. Older people watched movies and tv shows that weren’t a dopamine trip down immediate gratification lane, but that’s what we are used to now. That’s why so many newer sports are timed.

Golf needs to find the equivalent of a shot clock to stay relevant to a larger audience, because though the game is great, it is anything but a sport of instant gratification. For more, read this article: Does Golf Need A Shot Clock?
