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.

      Favorite TV Show(s)

      By iacas ·

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?

      Day 10: 2/16/2025 Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.  My new priority pieces.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed.
