peasy23 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Yes it's absolutely grim. That equates to 4.5 hours for a round. Just awful. as you say it's effectively a 2 ball and some putts are conceded.I'll give them a wee bit of leeway as the conditions are tough with a strong blustery wind, but even with that 4 hours is a generous time for a matchplay 2 ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good tweet from Ewen Murray on the matter. @ewenmurray77 I’ve had spats with officials over the last 5 years. If you’re going to do nothing about slow play, don’t set time limits, because there’s no point. I really enjoyed watching today as the golf was wonderful. Nearly 6 hours however took so much away from the excellence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The Solheim Cup is pretty grim. Slow as f**k and although weather is a factor, it's like watching a televised monthly medal at times. USA looking likely the cigar the whole thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigOutYourSoul Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 All 4 groups on the clock. One of the Europeans backed off one shot six times and went through her full routine each time. Nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The pace of play is utterly ridiculous. I don't care if it was blowing a hooly, there is no way it should take that long for four fourball matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have their passports revoked full stop, this is a nation of people that elected George W. Bush twice and then managed to surpass that lunacy by electing Trump. They're also as irritating as f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
