    Plenty of tour pros are slow, prob not 99%, and of course even the slower players on tour have emmense ability.
    I would question the slower ones ability RELATIVE TO THEIR PEERS on tour though.

    If pace of play was properly policed on tour, you may well see a shift in standings among the pros.

    Take a couple of slow ones - Jim Furyk, the guy Loupe from a few weeks ago, Ben Crane.
    I imagine their scoring average would be worse - certainly initially, if they were held to play at the proper pace in every tournament.

    I'm not suggesting they'd become hackers but their scoring average may go from say 71 to 73. Enough to send them down several places in the field. Many of them - probably would be able to adjust.

    Getting back to the two 18 handicappers. If one of them was ONLY able to shoot 90 when given an extra 45 mins - and couldn't adjust, over a period, when held to a proper pace of play, Yeah I'd say he had less ability than the other guy.

    His true handicap would be what he could shoot in the allotted time - say 3 hours 45 for a 4 ball on a course with no hold ups.

    Huh?

    So by that logic 99% of the Pro golfers on tour have un-proven ability...
