I tend to agree and don't caddie in pro tournaments.
Just last week at the Masters Scottie stood there on the box staring at the wind for 2 mins while he waited for it die down. Not judging it trying to decide where it was coming from but just sitting there waiting for it to die before he hit.
HIT THE DAMN BALL
100% this. Anything that helps. And for Christ's sake let them get relief from divots in the fairway. That is the dumbest rule in the book!RogerFurlong said:
Just let them use slope and get it over with.

Do y'all think getting rid of caddies would speed up play? If you ain't got nobody to discuss the shot with, maybe you would come to a quicker decision.
Slow guys are slow and there is zero incentive/punishment that makes them change.Aggie369 said:
It doesn't speed anything up. The time is waisted on the greens and guys who are just slow. It has nothing to do with getting yardages. I've caddied in pro tournaments with lasers....its still slow
Good caddies get all these numbers very quick and often before the player gets there.

The greens are the problem. Aimpoint, overanalyzing, a routine where they address the ball then back off again every time, etc. That is where so much unnecessary time is spent. Rangefinder or not; tee shots and approaches are fine unless they are in a spot of bother and need some time to determine a strategy (and maybe need a ruling)
I say put a putt clock behind every green. You get one warning bad time and the next is a stroke.

if I had it my way any ball in the fairway could be moved one club length no nearer. I don't think a bad break in the fairway should exist.

If you fly a ball into the woods and it ricochets back into the fairway, should you have to go drop in the woods? Or you're only interested in fixing bad breaks, not good breaks?

It's the greens. I have played behind The Tech and LCU teams plenty of times here in Lubbock. They are quick to get to the green and then SLOOOOW.

That is true. I'm a fast player and noticed I take more time reading the putt than anything else. Of course I'm still much faster than the pros but if you want to make putts, you need to see which way it's going

I was waiting for the "unfair" comment. Golf isn't a fair game. If anybody ever told you it was then they lied to you.
Play it as it lies!
