Gets It: Charley Hull Thinks People Should Get Kicked Off The Tour For Slow Play Penalties, Need This To Happen For All Of Golf

I love golf. I probably spend too much time in my life out on the course, collecting bogeys and trying to figure out what the hell went wrong with my chip. But there's one thing I promise you. No one is a faster player than me - including when I play in the boot I've been in for 4 months. Get the club, pick your spot and hit it. No waggles, no overthinking, minimal practice swings, they don't mean anything for an amateur golfer. There's also nothing and I mean nothing worse than clocking a 5.5 hour round because the people in front of you are waiting to go for it on a par-5 from 280 out. We all know what's going to happen. Overswing, top it or a direct hook into the shit on the right about 195 out. Just hit the ball and move along. 

Obviously we're talking big time money here vs what me and you are used to. Amateur golf, trying to get away on a Saturday morning and prepping for our member-member trophy collection. But this rule needs to apply to the PGA, LPGA and every single course in America. You get hit with multiple slow play penalties? You're banned. No more playing at your local track, private or public, if you're the one backing everyone up on hole 5. Put GPS on all of us, not just our carts. Monitor us on the course. I don't care. I know I'm a fast player, I demand others to not be slow. I'm not saying you gotta sprint to the ball and shit, just stop the waggles and million practice swings when you're out here grinding for a 93. And if you break out one of those ball retriever things by the water? Banned from every course in the city, maybe even the state. Can't trust those people on a weekend fishing for a couple balls. 

She's right from a professional standpoint too. Watching slow play sucks as a fan. We know what we're in for when we turn on a golf tournament. A bunch of commercials, a bunch of 'playing throughs' and way too long of rounds. Cut that down by like 30 minutes. Give me a shot clock like we have in baseball now. I don't care if it pisses people off, call me selfish. I just want to watch golf, not waggles.
