Try waiting 10 minutes for ppl to find their ball, then decide its lost, drop a new ball and top it 10 meters on a par 5.

Still waiting for the hilarious bit, should be any day now

Not a big Koepka fan but on this subject he is spot on!

I’m with Brooks on this all day. It’s not that complicated. Get the yardage pick the club and swing.

I golf with a good golfer and he has always claimed, nobody needs to take longer than 15 seconds to swing!

I wish I could play at their pace. These 5 hour rounds at public courses blow! Even weekday golf is slow, I don't even attempt weekend golf.

I like where Lee Trevino describes these guys taking multitudes of practice swings for a short pitch, you fall asleep watching, wake up, and they are still swinging. I've seen Spieth do it on and on.....they just don't usually show it on TV....they come back when he is finally ready.

Brooks “I take 15 secs to take a shot and I’ve done alright” Koepka

I agree with you, Brooks. There is no justification for slow play

BK - You have just become my all time favourite Non-Brit Player. Just get on with it.

I can't believe I thought this guy was a nobody when he won his first major. Love this man

Remember when Sergio Garcia took 40 seconds just to get his grip right?!?!?

That was hilarious!!

He's bang on. There is so much said about rule changes supposedly having been made to speed up play, when the truth is that these make little or no difference when the field can only go as quick as the slowest players (unless groups are let through, but this seldom if ever happens). IMHO 3 minutes search v 5 minutes just means the group behind doesn't get let through and has to wait; the ability to leave the flag in doesn't speed things up if somebody wants it attending (which they can still request) or if someone wants it out and then someone else wants it back in; and ready golf (except on the tee) just seems to end up with people getting in each other's way. The fact is that slow play is 100% caused by slow players who either walk slowly; and/or have laborious routines; excessive practice swings; are not ready/wait until it is on them before measuring yardage, putting glove on and selecting their club, and looking at putts from all angles (all things that can be done whilst waiting for others to play). I see 20 handicappers at my club who are just playing in the weekly medal piss about for minutes on every shot (often followed by a complete duff). It is a major issue that needs addressing in the pro game and even more so in the amateur game where we are not playing for millions of dollars and take more (sometimes a lot more) shots. Brooks is spot on that there should be a rule applying a time limit for each shot (whether it is 40 seconds or a minute I am not too fussed) that is rigorously enforced in exactly the same way as all the other rules.

In my isolated case I found a solution. I am a fast player and a man that works outdoors, as do two other men in my group. The fourth in my group that was taking forever drove us nuts. He had an indoor job with air conditioning. We finally got so tired of his slow play that we held him on the greens forever. We were all used to the heat, he wasn't. There is no shade on a green to speak of. We held him there for an eternity taking forever to line up putts just to piss him off and make him sweat. He finally got wise to what we were doing and stopped playing with us. He's still a good friend, but for the first time in over ten years we can finish a round in just over 3 hours. It used to take 5-6 because we had to let people constantly play through. I always felt so guilty about the people behind us when I played with him. Now that he is off the course at least 100 people can get home earlier, cook dinner, eat, use the bathroom, shower, and get to bed earlier on any given Sunday afternoon. I actually timed him. His average was over 3 minutes per shot if he was in good standing. If he was in the trees it could easily be 10 minutes. Conversely I am 21 seconds from the time I put my tee in the ground and less than 15 seconds on my fairway shots. I hate slow play. Three of us would tee off in about 1 minute and we would have to sit and wait for him to get all his calculations correct, make an error on one of his 3000 practice swings, and start the whole process over again without any regard for us or who was behind us. He is a very smart man, he's just incredibly ignorant.

Love this guy great for the sport . Top player who learned his trade on the challenge tour too guy .

The USGA should pair Brooks and Bryson for the first 2 rounds of the US Open in June. That would be entertaining!!

I feel his pain. Too bad at municipal courses I’m waiting over 5 minutes for a guy to hit off the tee into woods. Another 5 for him to look for it. Another 5 for him to choose his drop spot and hit. Another 5 for him to hit three off the rough. And another 5 minutes to putt, just to pick it up one foot from the hole because he missed. Some people just don’t understand what pace of play is. Then you get on their ass and they get offended.

Haha, what a stickler! 😄

the other thing that kills it is players not starting their routine until it's their turn. If you're on the fairway, you should be able to check your yardage, the lie, do your practise swings during another players turn. Same thing on the green. Do your reads when it's not your turn, as long as you aren't distracting other players.

He is right and is one of the few that has the courage to say so

Slow play i the bane of all recreational golf. Hit the damn ball.

Brooks sports psychology take is so god damn true

A stone legend for articulating that simple point in my opinion

Amen brother!

Maybe a shot clock like the NBA has? A big, red-lettered sucker that followed you around on the course. And you could get 3 time-outs per side - take an extra minute to get yourself together. But if the clock expires before you swing, 10 yard penalty.

Brooks is right... if golf is to survive and prosper it needs to move with the times - that means 3.5 hour rounds max...

A breath of fresh air

Wow that was hilarious. 🤪

Brooks and Bryson in the ring would be better than their golf rants!😁

Really hilarious. 🤪

100%. If you're not ready to play a shot don't go on the course.

yess brooks man of the people!!

I totally agree with him… I’m almost done watching golf because it takes them 2-3 minutes to decide on what club to hit …

Great Clip

Spot on !!!!!

Yes!!!!!! Live it

Well said !!

My sides are splitting and I can’t breath. That’s about as funny as Koepka can get.

Want to make a comment but just can't stop laughing

What really gets my goat is that the discussion about what to play with the caddy can only begin once the other player’s ball has come to a stop. Nothing could be decided in the 2 minutes it took them to make up their mind. Thank god for 15 second skip forward buttons.

Really hilarious 😂 .......

Wow, that WAS hilarious

Top man 👍

I don't know how officials justify doing nothing when a player takes over 50 seconds (time limit on first to play from tee, in fairway, on green) when the group is out of position...television could help by putting the camera on an official and a timer on the screen when he is staring at, say DeChambeau, especially when the official is just sitting there in his golf cart, arms resting on his belly, eyes probably closed behind the sunglasses, etc....

I’m with him. Every golfer knows exactly what club on every tee box ahead of time. So there is no reason to take a half hour to hit the ball. Golf needs to understand that baseball is having a problem with the pace of the game they don’t want to get to that point.

Amen!

Well said. I think he’s 100% right

Sportsmanship, that is the key here. brooks, If you don't like someone, then beat him by more birdies.

Brooks is spot on! Go Noles!

Not the biggest Brooks fan but he’s absolutely right here. Slow play affects the rest of the field who have to wait on every tee shot and approach shot behind them. What about their rhythm being thrown off?

Brooks has a tremendous amount of credibility on this issue, given what he has proven on the tour so far. He's one of the best ever. The best on paper, given his driving, chip ability, and putt ability. The league needs to take his advice.

I like this guy

I completely agree.

As you are walking or riding to your ball, you have time to think about the shot you want to hit. Once you get there, you get a yardage. If the wind is highly variable, you have to give it a thought and add or subtract. That gives you a club. You go through your pre-shot routine and hit it. Most shots we should know what kind of shot we are going to play prior to arriving at the ball. Then it is about distance and a bit of correction for the circumstances. That is about 30 seconds tops from the time you arrive at the ball to when you should hit most shots. It should be less if you arrive and it is someone else's turn. You should be ready to hit when it is your turn. That is about 10 seconds. Read your putt while others are reading theirs. When it is your turn. Get to it. What I see a lot of is people not even starting to select a club before someone else plays. They may not even have figured out the distance let alone the corrections. This is not difficult. You have to focus on playing golf. What I find is that most people don't seem to be able to focus very well.

How refreshing. Just a normal guy who wants to play golf. Phycologist telling you "have to be ready to take the shot" I just normally walk up to the ball figure the distance then choose a club then swing. I don't need to pay £500 a hour to someone to figure that out.

Old Golfers never die....... They just get the tee time right before mine........

a frickin laugh riot

Hit the GD ball within 40sec. Agree 👍🏼

Sergio: wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, yeah wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, yeah

Oh that was funny as hell😂😂😂Seeing Rory beat everyone in the tour championship, now that made me smile.

OMG!! I laughed so hard I peed in my pants 🤣😂😅

100% correct

I understand taking a little time for a shot, but even some of the pros take an eternity to get up to the ball and hit it. I can understand why some people fall asleep watching golf!

It took brooks 10 seconds on 10 to realize he had to chip out at the masters. Like him or not, he practices what he says

He makes a great point. Its in the rule book. On ALL other rules, the officials are sticklers. On slow play, despite numerous and obvious violations, I've never seen ANYONE get penalized EVER.

He’s right, players take way too long many times.

Which rules is this and when does the 40 seconds start?

The words 'Brooks' and 'hilarious' in same sentence is hilarious. When God was handing out sense of humours he was taking nap the day Koepka was born.

That was funny....!!!

I played with my Dad and 2 friends of his, all in their 70’s, one guy legally blind. We played in 3 hours.

Either I have no sense of humour or this wasn't as hilarious as the title makes out 🤔

I'm really hoping to see a Brooksy, Cantlay pairing at the PGA next month

"Too bad the PGA tour won't have Brooks Koepka to kick around anymore"

#ReadyGolf

Agreed

I propose a shot clock for all tournament golf. If you're in the fairway, 30 seconds. If you're in the rough, 45 seconds. If you're OB, you're disqualified. Simple Simon.

I'll make people mad and this comment is about one of my all time favorites, but Jack used to stand over a putt forever. He didn't take long to read the green but when he moved over the ball.....

#Amen

He’s a stud

Slow play is golfs greatest enemy.

It’s so funny when they take like 7 practice swings just to slice it into the woods

Ahhh, where it all started

As a medium pace guy, both super slow AND super fast players frustrate me tbh

I like this guy, all power to him, it drives me fucking mad just watching it on TV, let alone amateurs playing, the worse they are , the slower they get.

I was a Koepka fan way before most people ever heard of him because I actually follow what's going on in the pro golf world. Somehow I missed the hilarity in this video, however. I also missed any possible good that could have come from BK touring the golf course butt-naked. In fact, I am rethinking my whole attitude about him since his decision to do that -- and his in ability to close the deal on the FedEX cup race. It was his! All he had to do was hit the fairway at about 65% clip -- and he couldn't do it! It's not exactly like McIlRoy was shattering the course records.

good on him. three and one half hours is plenty

Sergio should listen to this

Slow play has destroyed the pga tour. Done and done. CYA

I was playing competive golf in the '80s when the disease of slow play hit with abandon. Before that it didn't occur to amatuers to step off every shot, consult yardage books, make notes, throw grass, double-check, clean grooves/spikes, all before even beginning the all-important "pre-shot routine." Rounds on 6500 yard courses went from 3 hours to 5 1/2. And don't even get me started on those god-forsaken phones on the 8th and 17th holes to make sure every yuppie on the course orders a $14 sandwich and $5 beer to enjoy at the turn and of course the 19th hole. If the 1st tee wasn't stacked to hell and back, you could bet the 10th would be, as every 22 handicap lived life large scarfing down overpriced food without giving a flying F about the 25 foursomes behind them. I started shooting pool and guns.

Wish he said this after 4th round of the masters

DeChambeau? Slowest guy out there. THAT is who he is talking about.

I have a much different idea of the word "Hilarious"

I am with him

I think time pressure would probably make the sport more enjoyable. Ever since Tiger left I found it’s like someone let the air out of the balloon, he was someone that made people watch cause his shots were daring and usually on target. Obviously you can’t expect a new “Tiger” to show up so why not put more pressure and margin for error to increase the drama of trying to keep your lead with less time to plan every shot.

Allow rangefinders with slope. The players know these numbers anyway it just takes forever to calculate. Then strictly enforce slow play rules, after a few shots taken away pace will increase dramatically

🚨🚨🚨 My FACTS detector is going off the charts! 🚨🚨🚨

Wish I had those problems

Totally agree with you brooks. What ever happens on the professional game, filters down to the amateur game. If so play got penalty strokes, 18 holes would be played in under 4 hours. Some Saturdays at my club you are talking 5 hour rounds. Something needs to be done.

I saw Bryson spend 2 Plus minutes preparing for an 8 foot putt and didn't even come close to making it. Ha. Ha. Brooks has a point. "If there is an exception to the rule, it's not a rule."
