Scottie Scheffler doesn’t think

PGA Tour’s attempt to reset the game rate will increase this week on RBC Heritage, where they will begin to test the use of distance measuring equipment to speed up the game.

Week signing event in Harbor Town Golf Links begins a six -month test period that PGA Tour announced during last month’s player championship.

World no. 1 Scottie Scheffler admits that “forgot” the tournament was implementing Rangefinders this week. He plans to leave Rangefinder’s plan to his caddy ted Scott, but he does not believe this will be what makes boys move on the tournament.

“Will it help in the pace of the game? Maybe a few minutes,” Scheffer said Tuesday in Harbour Town. “Will it be anything significant? No. This tour, what affects the pace of the game is to walk the golf course. I think we are playing twosomes all week, so it will go from a five-hour round in perhaps four hours or less. When you see the biggest changes in the pace of the game, all come from two boys to one pair.

Players will be able to use distance measuring equipment only for the yard. All other features – such as the course map and the choice of the club – must be deactivated. The punishment for violating these rules is severe. The first violation will cost the player two strokes, while the second will result in a disqualification.

Scheffler does not have a strong thinking about the use of rangefinders, but noted that it can work against players whose cades normally have an advantage when it comes to obtaining yards from abnormal points when shooting goes out of line.

Rhythm of the PGA Tour Play issue It was under the microscope at the beginning of this season when the last round at Farmers Insurance Open took about six hours to finish. CBS ‘journalist on the course Dottie Pepper called players For their lack of respect for their competitors, fans and broadcasting. During the masters last week, President Fred Ridley took time out of his press conference to address the issue of Golf rhythm, including the suggestion that the club will begin to monitor it in the car competition, Chip and Putt.

Using Rangefinders is one of the three suggestions given by a committee formed by players to help improve the pace of the game. They also suggested change the penalty structure, with some top players, Including Collin Morikawademanding that the larger offenders be put into their card of the results for violations. According to this new policy, the players will receive a penalty with a blow for their first bad time instead of receiving a warning. The tournament will also issue slow data and statistics to move the players.

While the best players of the game have offered different solutions for the play rhythm, Scheffler, like Rory Mcilroy, believes the best way to address the problem is to switch from playing to the trio to doubles, which would require to go to smaller fields in most tournaments.

But for Scheffler, the problem of golf time is not the issue it is focused on.

“The rhythm of the game’s debate is funny. I think people want to watch exciting golf,” Scheffler said. “I think this is what has to do with it all. Let’s say if we do all these changes, and we save 20 minutes away from a round of golf. Will anyone sit in bed on Sunday and go well, I don’t have five hours to see a round of golf, but I have taken four hours and 40 minutes. Now I’m inside.

“I think if we are going to spend a lot of time and energy. I think where I would like to spend it is to get more people in the game of golf, more people able to come and play. It is a great game. It is a great sport. You teach a lot of golf -playing life. Golf game is being included in my golf.

The PGA Tour Rangefinder test period will last from RBC Heritage through the Truist championship and oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic. Tour Korn Ferry will also try them during the three fair events during this period.
