But after just one round of the Austrian Open/aka Shot Clock Masters, the results speak volumes: as much as 55 minutes faster than the typical European Tour three-ball, rounds 19 minutes faster than t

Fine. And you’re a slow player that every commercial about it is referring to. Own up to it. It’s your choice. Fine. It’s not a popular one..but what do you care?

PGA tournaments don’t take 51/2 hours because a few outliers are playing slow. As @iacas mentioned they used a clock on the Euro tour and it was very successful. Why you’re enthralled with dragging tournaments out is beyond me.

Speaking of slow, PGA Tour Sloth JB Holmes is a hole and a half behind in the Travelers. Time to start penalizing him.

What other ways besides visual shot clocks littering the fairways could be used to implement this?

Your imagination can’t come up with anything?

Every group has a walking scorer, standard bearer, etc. already…

No. I'm among those not in favor of shot clocks - particularly like those debuted recently.  If they do decide to implement them it would seem something a bit less obtrusive might be nice.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
