I am a police officer in a city south of Boston, 6 years so far. I work the midnight shift to give myself more time for golfing, although it doesn’t always work out as planned haha.

Do you wear the bobby hat and not allowed to carry a gun? These are serious questions btw. Read the post after it was gone and looked kinda jokey or snarky. I truly am curious on both fronts. ;)

Yep they occasionally make us actually wear the hats and instead of a gun we get a little can of CS spray!! I prefer it this way though. The more police carry guns the more the criminals will...

Hey my name is John, I have just signed up and thought I would introduce myself. I live on the Gold Coast QLD, Australia. I am an app developer. I mainly make games for IOS. This past 5 months I have also been working toward a goal of playing professional golf. I was playing off 27 in February this year and now 5 months later I'm down to 10. I have read so many posts about guys trying to achieve the same thing as me and I think it's fantastic that there are so many more people that love golf as much as I do. I recently started a blog about my ambitious goal of turning pro. If anyone is interesting in having a read and leave some comments feel free to check it out here. http://amateur-to-pro-golfer.weebly.com I'll try to update it as often as I can and would love to see some comments from those of you trying to achieve the same thing. I think having a support network would be helpful. So anyway it's great to be here and I hope I can be of some use. Cheers John

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.

      I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play.

      This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online.
