if a group on the PGA tour asked a slow-playing group in front of them if they could play through?

imagine a rory sabatini-led group being held up by a group with ben crane and jim furyk, and finally having enough and asking to play through? i think it would be hysterical...

I wonder if the PGA Tour would allow such things. When you attend a TOUR event, you get a pairings guide -- I wonder if it would be a bad customer experience to have trouble finding their desired pairing.

On a Saturday/Sunday, it's a little worse, if one or both groups contain a player in contention.

who the hell cares? seriously, these guys need to be embarassed out there into playing faster by having a group play thru them, or either penalize them strokes instead of just putting them on the clock and then not doing anything about it. all it does is teach joe schmoe at my local course to play as slow as possible.

I thought I saw a post ryder cup match interview with furyk saying that they got played through and that it was "akward".But I barely saw the interview because someone was flipping though channels so I dont' know if it was out of context ? anyways funny if true.

Wasn't he playing with Dustin Johnson? I think he was pissed about the deal. But it was because of the weather delays and running two rounds at the same time.

      I would be happy to hang out with you guys but as of now @DaveP043 and I are planning to stay in Cranberry Township. There’s a bit of travel between the two places, but maybe we can work something out.

      Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame

      Personally I have no issues with even the steroid-era figures such as Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa being inducted into the hall. My reasoning there is we already have nearly a half-dozen known steroid users in the hall, including those inducted after their steroid usage was already common knowledge. David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez (as well as Ivan Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, and Todd Helton) both failed the same wave of anonymous drug tests that saw Sammy Sosa shunned by the nation, and he's in the hall. Piazza admitted to using Andro (the same thing McGwire was juicing with) and amphetamines. Greenies were commonplace in MLB clubhouses and used by countless stars, alongside cocaine, from at least the 60's all the way up until the early 2000's. There are at least a dozen other pros in the hall that have allegations from teammates who claim to have directly witnessed steroid usage. Even Nolan Ryan has stated that he thought steroid usage was a widespread problem in the sport as early as the mid to late 70's. I'm of the opinion that once that genie is out of the bottle, and it most certainly has been for decades now, it's a bit silly to pretend those already inducted are somehow morally superior for being not quite as astronomically and suspiciously good at baseball when using steroids. Hitters were using steroids, pitchers were using steroids (funny how we saw the number of complete games fall off a cliff at the same time that steroid enforcement was being ramped up), it's an even playing field as far as I'm concerned. To quote The Incredibles, "When everyone is super, no one will be".  As for Pete Rose it would appear that by all accounts he never bet as a player and only ever bet on his own team while managing. It's understandable to prohibit any involvement in the sport after it was discovered, but it's not something that gave him any advantage in reaching his level of achievement in the sport.  As for Joe Jackson, I personally don't think he should have been banned in the first place. He actively refused the bribe, tried to report the plot to the owner of the White Sox, and his alleged confession only occurred after the White Sox's team attorney got him roaring drunk immediately prior to the grand jury testimony. Every confessed conspirator also stated that he never attending any of their meetings or discussed plans with them. Not to mention the fact that if he WAS trying to fix the series he did an absolutely terrible job of it considering he was the best performing player on either team by far setting a World Series record that stood until 1964 and went error-free while gunning down at least one runner at home plate.

      Day 7: 5/13/2025 Range day today. Had a really good session. I was able to pull a mirror over into my stall and make a slow-mo swing in the mirror and then try to duplicate the swing to hit a ball.  Felt really good today. Tomorrow will be league night.
