Probably already been mentioned, but at the professional level once a player is cited three times for slow play, they get the early bird first group out on Thursday and Friday for the next three tournaments they play in.  As more slow play penalties are assessed, the most recent get the earliest tee times.  I always hated being in the early bird groups  in tournaments back when I was competitive.

I saw all golfers have to wear a shock collar like my dog does. They can wear it around the neck, wrist or ankle.  Put up 60 on the clock and if they dont hit they get zapped. You would have golfers

I’d like to see them implement an actual shot clock similar to how some Texas Hold’em games run. You’re given three time extensions. After that, for golf, you’re given a one stroke penalty for each ti

If they can cane kids for spitting in certain countries, then why can't we use electric cattle prods for slow play?

Not that I doubt you, but do you have a reference for this part of the PGA Tour policy?

It was a suggestion.  It's not part of Tour Policy.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
