LPGA slow play fines


cnosil

Recommended Posts

Interesting to see that the LPGA is imposing fines on players for slow play. I knew that they impose stroke penalties but have never hear if a player actually being fined especially multiple times.

 

If the pGA is serious about fixing slow play they should actually penalize players.

They honestly don't seem to be too concerned about it. Their lack of action tells me that. I don't get it, but it is really hard to watch, at times.

I read that this morning. That was a pretty substantial penalty for her. Perhaps they should have just limited it to her earnings, since she's 5K in the hole for playing last weekend not counting other expenses

That's the PGA Tour handbook from last season.  Page 69 has the PoP policy, and includes fines based on number of "bad times", starting at $5000 for the second bad time (first is free) to $10,000 for the third and each subsequent bad time.  There are also fines for simply being out of position badly enough to be put on the clock.  As far as I remember, the PGA Tour has never announced the fines for slow play, or any other fines.

The PGA tour needs to pay attention to this and start enforcing it more

The Tour does fine guys.  But when you're winning millions of dollars, a fine of 5 or 10 grand isn't a lot.  Stroke penalties would be more of a deterrent, if they actually did invoke that part of the rule.  But its pretty dang hard to get to the point where stroke penalties would be invoked.

Yeah, they'd only care about the stroke penalties.  The beauty of a stroke penalty is that it's also a $$$ penalty, unless it's Friday and the guy knows he has no hope of making the cut.
