Nelly Cord remains receding from the slow game. And there are tips to manage it

Nelly Korda says the slow game is straight, well, slow. Makes the golf longer.

And she says you never get into a stream because of it.

And for your body to be rigid because of it.

Then there are those outside the ropes who see a slow game to unfold.

“For spectators,” time Said Wednesday, “It’s not a pleasure to stay around and watch us and see us sitting next to our box or golf ball and do nothing and bake in the sun or any weather we are playing.”

So, yes, the world’s highest rank player remains repulsed by slow game, as evidenced by her answers to questions on the subject before this week The Amundi Evian Championship. In recent years, Korda was one of the most vocal critics of the act, and she plays while preaching, working as one of the fastest professionals of the game – but she is also not naive.

Players will seem to continue to take their time for shots. Perhaps a punishment situation will appear. Whatever the case, the slow game will live, and Korda was asked how it keeps its focus, given that the slope can be an understandable option.

Her response was open.

“At the end of the day,” said Korda, “you know you are playing a round and playing – no matter what day it is, you are playing for a championship, so you have to stay focused.

“I think the longer the rounds are, the more drainage you think they get. At the end of the day, I mean, you just have to suck it, build a bridge to overcome it and adapt to the circumstances in question.”

Her solution to curb it, however, is a penalty kick, and this year, the LPGA has apparently heard. In February, the tournament announced That players that exceed 40 seconds to hit would discipline-under the new instructions, if a player exceeds time by 1-5 seconds, it will receive a fine; If a player requires 6-15 seconds over time to play a blow, it will be hit with a penalty with a stroke; And if a player requires 16 or more seconds than allowed, a two -shot penalty will be charged.

“I think this has improved in our tournament a very extraordinary tour,” Korda in Evian, the fourth of the year, said five women’s diplomas. “At the end of the day, I think if you start delivering sentences for girls who take a long time, then they will not want to be penalized a stroke or two. This can make a really big difference in whatever they want, appreciate money, shorten, whatever.

“So they will speed up at the end of the day. So the tougher the circumstances are, the more they will change.”

The fastest game would benefit from families, she said.

“It’s not fun for young children,” Korda said. “Their patience is not as good as that of an adult.

“I feel as more stream and action, the better for the crowd. When there are so many stagnation and no movement in what we are doing, this is some kind of entertainment, right?”

In particular, the theme of the slow game has grown in Evian Previously, after Carlota Ciganda appealed a two -shot penalty for overcoming a certain time, then, after her appeal was rejected, she refused to take the blows, leading to her disqualification. How the Evian Lion of this week according to the new rules, then, promises to be monitored.

However, the cord is charming to a group that is known to slow down the game.

Amateurs.

She said she does not have long pro-AMS mind.

“My first sponsor I ever received as a professional was through a pro-am,” said Corda, “and I met so many incredible people through pro-AMS.

“Getting in touch and getting to know these amazing individuals who are coming out at the end of the day and supporting us is a lot of fun for me.”
