PGA Tour insists new golf measures to speed up slowcoaches are working despite Davis Riley disqualification
Riley was punished for enabling the slop functionon his distance measuring device but Tour claims speed of play is increasing Positive golf chiefs have ignored the Davis Riley penalty to issue an encouraging bulletin on tests designed to speed up the slowcoaches. The PGA Tour are into the final week of experiment with distance-measuring devices which are being used at both the Truist Championship and Oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic in a bid to boost the pace of play. Unlucky Riley suffered a two-shot penalty at last week's CJ CUP Byron Nelson event as he accidentally used an outlawed slope function on his device. But, that incident aside, Gary Young, the PGA Tour's Chief of Rules and Competitions, said has given an upbeat update on the findings with rounds reported to be getting faster during the trial. He told Golfweek: 'We had that one unfortunate penalty with Davis Riley and, other than that, it's gone pretty well. 'I think the guys are taking ownership and realising they have got to make a change or something bad is going to come their way. They've heard all this talk about shot clocks and things that they don't feel having any place in the game.' Publishing lists to out the fairway slugs and publicly shame them is also on the agenda and Young added: 'What is eventually going to change their behaviour, it's going to be stuff like that. Every player thinks they're a fast player until you show them on paper. "The data's going to be important. When you sit down with them and you say: This is over thousands of golf shots. Look at your average. Stop trying to make excuses. Don't tell me about the volunteer you had at such and such. That's garbage. All that stuff's thrown out. 'When you're talking thousands of golf shots, you've got a problem, and you need to address it. When they hear that, and we're upfront with them on that, they need to change their behaviour. "You need to become more like the norm. I'm not asking you to be a fast player, but I do need you to be more like everyone else. You don't get more time to play than everyone else out here. That's what it boils down to.' You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Rangers and Celtic pages, and sign up to our newsletters to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.
