13-05-2012 10:27am#1Looks like the slow play is still slowing. We hear about the 2.5 hour fourballs of yore from our grandfathers. Will we be reminiscing about our lighting fast 4.5 hour rounds when the typical 18 holes has become a 6 hour event ? I saw some teenagers (single figure handicaps) doing something similar a couple of weeks ago in a medal comp.
Stronger penalties needed to cut out this sort of nonsense. Na is unfit to be allowed on a course.0

He was slow that time last year when he took a 15 or 16 on a Par-4, but that can happen to anyone so we won't slate him for it!

Kevin isnt a slow player, id sayges the opposite, he legs it around the course and chooses his clubs quickly etc, its like ge takes aaaaages talkin to his caddy and being real indesicive changin clubs etc. he just has a but if a prob pullin the trigger on the tee0 -

However i dont agree that Kevin Na should be lumped in with the Ben Cranes, Jim Furyks and JB Holmes of this world .
As i dont believe he is intentionally "taking the piss", he is suffering from
the full swing yips and have noticed it is now creeping into his putting stroke this evening.
I personally have one of my friends who after being a top golfer and getting down to 7 handicap, finally had to give in and stop playing the game he loves, due to chipping and putting yips.
It is very hard to watch and no amount of - "just try this" or "just rock your shoulders" advice can help.
He tells me that unless you have suffered it , you simply cannot understand it as it is not mechanical but totally mental.
So i personally feel very sorry for Kevin Na , and hope he can deal with this before it destroys his career.
You could hear him apologising to Zack Johnson on every tee yesterday,
that not the actions of someone whos taking the piss or doing it out of choice!!!!
Agree with all of that.
But the guy is in the top 3.
He has finished ahead of Tiger Woods, Rory Mcilroy, Padraig Harington etc, etc, etc.
Doesn't say much for the other lads.
Edit - That is the most premature post ever.

Fair point , but it seems his problems are at an early stage where he can,
by continually backing off the shot and giving himself a talking too -
win the battle and eventually although not pretty to watch ,
play the shot he visualised .Hence he may well to his eternal credit, win the Players Championship and outplay the great names in the field.
But as i said previously , he's now backing off putts as well as full swings
,which does not look good in the long term.
All i can say is i wish him luck in his battle and ask the haters asking for his tour card to be taken away to give him a break.
God forbid it happens to you, horrible thing!!0 -

Couldn't agree more re. the Fore shouting.
Baffles me why the major percentage of pros , calmly watch their ball
bulleting into a crowd of patrons and think a signed glove is the answer.
Jesus, your man Harris English nearly killed some old fella yesterday and then handed him the old signed glove as the first aiders were mopping the blood off his head!!
I always thought shouting fore was part of the etiquette of the game for
amatuers and professionals alike

Was thinking about it, mad one. A bit off topic.
But is it ?
To save face, would not look cool as a top pro.
To improve lie.
Hard to know where crowd is, can't see them due to course height changes.
Crowd is too close to play.
Pure evil guys with too much money.
Put other players off, next fairway etc.
So much in the zone.
Couldn't come up with one that made sense. New rule required.0 -

A number of them freely admit they don't want the crowd ducking and thus reducing the size of the "backstop" the crowd provides. I think Matt kuchar admitted as much last year (one of them did anyway, nearly sure it was Kuchar) that the players use the crowd to stop their ball in certain situations.
Yer man English deserved to shoot 79 yesterday after not calling fore when he hit that old fella - disgusting behaviour.0 -
