Hello golfers,  

As the dust settles on an epic Masters, one topic rumbles on, a debate that was sparked back into life when a good few players took what many regard as too much time over each and every shot at Augusta. Yes, the slow play debate. 

There's the camp that says professional golfers are playing for the game's biggest prizes, therefore taking more time than your average club golfer is to be expected. 

Those who take issue with this stance argue that there's simply no need to take so long between shots, and that it sets a bad example to spectators across the world. Some people even go as far as to say club golfers are influenced by the behaviour of what they see on television and this contributes to longer rounds on a social level across the country. 

We're not going to sit on the fence on this one. No one should feel rushed when they play, but there is a balance. There are some very simple procedures that, if followed, helped keep the pace of play right and manageable. 

Where do you stand on the matter? We've not heard the end of this one, that's for sure…
