CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Slow play is always a worthy adversary and the PGA of America’s decision to allow distance-measuring devices at this month’s PGA Championship is the most recent attempt to address five-plus-hour rounds. But it’s not going to work.
At least that’s what 2017 PGA champion Justin Thomas said Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Championship.
“I don't really like them. I think it takes away an advantage of having a good caddie that maybe goes out there and does the work beforehand as opposed to someone, especially now between the yardage books, the greens books and range finders, you technically don't even really need to see the place or play a practice round,” Thomas said.
