Slow Play in Golf - Ramble

Who holds up a golf course more: a slow scratch golfer or a fast 24 handicapper? Barry did the maths, and Sigma didn’t believe him. This week Barry and Sigma get into slow play: the worst offences, what clubs could do about pins and rough, how to deal with the Jimmy in your club, and whether a shot clock would fix the pro game. Plus Higher or Lower, powered by ApexGolf, and some easy ways to keep things moving. What’s the slowest round you’ve ever played? Tell us in the comments.
