Lucas Glover knows that PGA Tour has a slow problem.
But the 2009 US Open champion also has a list of solutions before the number of tour cards is trimmed from 125 to 100 starting next season.
In the January 28 episode of “The Lucas Glover Show” On Radio Siriusxm PGA Tour, Glover explained how the tour can speed up things, including expulsion of The technique of reading the greenery of purpose in which players tighten their wells and appreciate the holidays with their feet.
“Statistically, (Aimpoint) has not helped anyone make more strokes since its start at PGA Tour,” Glover told co-host Mac Barnhardt and Taylor Zarzour. “The statistics were born it. Also also a rude kind to be close to the hole, preventing you from understanding where the rest on your feet is. Should be banned. It takes forever. “
Glover did not say which statistics were referring to.
The six -time PGA Tour winner has been open about tournament The trailing rhythm of the gameAnd Aimpoint’s ban was not his only suggestion to move things.
Glover, who completed T3 in AT&T Pebble Beach pro-amwhich Rory Mcilroy won wants PGA Tour to allow distance measuring equipment, give each group of its own bunker and have yards marked in each spray head.
He also had some ideas that he knows the tournament will not be a fan, but he believes he would be useful.
This begins with Nixing Honor Observers by walking with groups inside the ropes.
“Tour will not like this,” Glover said. “Honorary observers are a couple of people the tournament puts in a group to walk inside the ropes that probably work for the sponsor or are sponsor guests. I guess what? They get the way. They don’t know where to walk from the greens, They don’t know where to stay.
Glover will also recommend that the tournament escape from sign carriers and some of the golf carts.
“There are many golf carts in the golf course during the game,” Glover said. “Easily, the number players a reason that relax from golf is because a golf cart is passing or a golf cart stopping. And usually, it’s for a good reason. They are bringing water to insert coolant, or they are closing people But there must be a way to eliminate some of the carts.
“The reason No. 1 that a Golf Pro will be withdrawn from a shot is a golf cart in PGA Tour, I would almost guarantee it.”
Glover would also like certain circuits of points near any obstacle.
The rhythm of the tournament game has been under strong control at the beginning of the season. During a last round slogan at Farmers Insurance Open, CBS on the Dottie Pepper Reporter Course asked the good to be “most respectful”. Sunday at Pebble Beach, Transmission hit Tom Kim Several times to take a lot of time to hit a kick.
Mcilroy was asked his choice to slow down the game, and the winner four times great admitted it is complicated and that his ideas will “remove” some of the membership.
tour Plans to become weaker next season By reducing the number of cards, but Glover wants to see other things I did first before taking the opportunity to play away from membership.
“Some of these look small. Some of them look great, “Glover said.” But I think they are legitimate options that a: It should have been made before we cut 25 cards and b: should be done in the future no matter how many people play because PGA Tour players are simply slow. We know that. ”
