Two players, Carlota Ciganda and Kaitlyn Papp Budde were punished on those weeks, towards Golfweek, with a cigand, the way out, will try to speed up “next year.”

“If you have three (penalties),” Hull added “, immediately wasting a tourist card.”

Although much current policy is the tempo game, key focus changes to the criminal empty. Current policy says “A player in a group who is out of position can be punished if: a. The player lasts more than 60 seconds to play one shot, including input and / or b. The players exceed the maximum amount of time for total moves Timed on a specific hole for more than 10 seconds. “For example, on a hole in which the player lasts four moves, he set aside 120 seconds of time.

I think it will implement sharp rules to be good For golf play because they say in a meeting, at the end of the day (we are a fun product). If we really go out, it’s not fun. “
