Interesting! I don't know when the clock starts though.  I look forward to seeing the results of how this goes.

Should be very interesting to see how this works out. I wish we could institute this in our association tournaments at my home course!

I love the idea, but yeah, lots of details have to be worked out. Another article about it here: https://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-european-tour-will-try-out-a-shot-clock-in-2018-to-address-slow-play

The shot clock will be used in the Austrian Open, not the Australian Open. Possible point of confusion: An Australian newspaper was one of the first outlets to put the story online.

And, I likewise want to know when the shot clock begins.

You wouldn't be the first one, right?  (This thread is just asking for this clip, how could I not ;)):

A referee will follow every group and players will be allowed 40 seconds to play their respective shots. If players fail to hit their shot within that 40-second allotment, they will be given a warning for the first offense and then be assessed an immediate 1-stroke penalty for every offense thereafter.

Officials believe that by installing a 40-second shot clock, rounds will speed up by 45 minutes.

Wow. I just wish we didn't have to wait until June to see how this works out…

It will prove interesting.   I'm sure there will be exceptions especially when they bring in an official to look at a situation.  It shouldn't be necessary but I'm glad they are addressing slow play.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 148: 5/23/24 Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed. Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!

      Birdied 15 at my home course today and made a birdie the other day at a course I don’t usually play. Will update the spreadsheet once I’m home on my computer.

      Day 70. Played 9 at Grand Niagara. Very very windy day, but I hit the ball well for me. The wind did help me hit my longest drive ever at 282y and I did make a birdie on a par 5.
