Too many touring pros, mostly Americans, are very annoying--robotic, whiny, slow players, whatever. When the great Harry Cooper was asked what peeved him the most about modern tour play, he remarked on the constant re-marking, lifting, replacing and aligning the ball. I have played competitive golf all my life, including D-I in college, and I'm disgusted by the example presented by most of the pros. Slow players, like Jim Furyk, ridiculous pre--shot routines, like Keegan Bradley, and constant whiners, like Jordan Spieth, are very tough to take. The pace of play has slowed significantly during my lifetime. We would benefit from some objective, hard-ass TV commentators to take miscreants to task. Far too many of the talking heads pattern themselves on that nauseating sycophant Jim Nantz. I miss Peter Alliss.
