- heavy_hitter: “About time. Hope USGA follow suit.”
- TLUBulldogGolf: “At the very least, it should help on wayward shots. Getting the number isn’t what makes rounds slow, but I consider this a welcome change.”
- Hawkeye77: “Good for them. Let’s see what happens and collect some data. Faster? Slower? Same? I don’t really care much about any of those answers for pros, but I’m curious to see what the experiences are.”
- tw_focus: “If it speeds up play, then I’m all for it. I’m skeptical that it will speed up play, but let’s see how it goes. It’s just one event to start.”
