This week's Thrash Talk focuses on a few golfers that have been missing in action in the past year or so. They have showed up to play golf, but they haven't played it worth a darn. I don't want to give anything away, but I want to ask the same question here.

Which household names have really struggled to find their games in the past year or so?

That will get things started, but be sure to check out the full article tomorrow morning.

Hi

im concerned about David Duval-he's missed all of the Florida Swing so far but started the season well..is he injured?..he needs to get it together pretty soon or he'll fall too far behind!

John Daly..he's doing fairly well this season but needs a few more finishes.

I want to see Phil Mick do better this season..ive noticed a pattern with him..when Tiger is playing he doesn't play so well?

Davis Love is someone else who needs to play better and to his potential this season.

Darren Clarke has made a dreadful start to the season and needs to get some form and consistency together.

Maybe not a household name for some but whatever happened to Chris Riley?

Last I heard he was still recovering from that exhausting Ryder Cup.

How about Ryan Moore and Justin lenorad? Lenorad had a great start this past weekend but he seems to be in a different state the last two or so years.

Ryan Moore had the wrist thing last year but don't really hear much about him any more.

Ryan Moore finished in the top 10 at Bay Hill I believe. I can't believe if that was the tournament or not, but it was somewhere on the Florida Swing. Other than that, however, he has been pretty quiet since late last summer.

Moore has way too much talent to be underachieving right now. Hopefully he will start to pick it up a little.

Justin Leonard started off well last week, but he faltered on the weekend. At least he made a cut and finished in the top 40 though. That's a positive sign if nothing else.

I agree...he is a local guy for me and graduated from UNLV, so I was watching his career closely then all of a sudden he had the wrist thing LY and then fell off the radar.

I hope he gets things going again.

      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.

      Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.

      Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
