I said this last week. All PGA Tour golfers should have the skill to hit the ball immediately when it is their turn. This is disrespectful to all fellow pros, fans, and the game of golf. Hit the friggin ball!!!

Isn’t there like a shot clock or something that is used? Thought it was like 30 seconds or 60 seconds to get your shot off
