Microcosm of big issues pro/college golf has. Rory then pulled the trigger and hit in less than 45 seconds

One of the biggest complaints on the tour should be the ridiculous drops they give players and refusal to keep up pace of play

Women’s golf is even worse. College on both men and women’s is unwatchable because of it

The driving range should be OB.

The grandstands should be OB.

I bet no one else has ever dropped off the driving range or car park.

It's so bad. I try to support anything LSU so the ladies were playing so I tuned in for a bit to watch. I watched maybe three holes and had to turn it off. LSU's top player took what seemed to be a lifetime on every single putt, reading the green from all sides, readjusting her line numerous times, standing over her line in different areas, and using a plumb bob style read with her putter. She ran one by about 5 feet past on one hole and took just as much time on the 5 footer as she did the 30 footer.

Another LSU player averaged 10-20 regrips on every shot. In the little bit of time I watched, the commentators mentioned it being an issue. And I have watched a very small sample size, so I'm sure it gets talked about a lot.

I would have turned it off after seeing one girl take that much time on the green if it was someone other than LSU. I gave them a pass for a bit because it was LSU but after three holes it was pretty unbearable. I can't imagine watching an entire round.
