LPGA Institutes New Slow Play Penalty Process (03/2025)

The process seems simple but they should “practice” playing under the coming Rule for the next month and work out obvious problems. Time will tell if this speeds things up.

It's helpful if you summarize it.

"MSN" doesn't tell us much. 🙂 

Headline: LPGA Has Players ‘Excited’ About New Slow Play Penalties That Will Be Implemented

The tour will penalize and fine players who exceed the time limit to hit a shot. If someone is one to five seconds over, they will receive a fine, six to 12 seconds will get a one-stroke penalty and 16 seconds or more will be handed a two-stroke deduction. These sanctions will take effect at the Ford Championship on March 27.

I have to say. 

I kind of like this idea. I say bully to the LPGA for doing something. 
I don't know if it will work or won't work, but good for them.
