Fla. It was interesting to hear the comments of the game s best players when it took more than six hours for some of them to play 18 holes in the first round of the PGA Championship. Horrible, said another. I could have taken a nap between holes, still another said.
Golf is a sport of leisure, but a six-hour round is more like a funeral.
We are a fast-paced society. We want to do everything as quickly as possible so, I guess, we can go on to something else. Everyone is in a hurry. And there are fewer and fewer patient players around these days. I will be the first to admit that the sport has a problem with pace of play.
