Euro Tour Considering Radical New Format To Lure The Kids
/Chris Cutmore of the Daily Mail reports that new European Tour Chief Keith Pelley is following the lead of Twenty20 and floating the idea of a radical format event, with just six holes, shot clocks, music (!?) and attire twists.
Cutmore writes...
'It would probably be a country competition,' Pelley told BBC Radio 5 Live. 'So you could see England playing Scotland in a six-hole matchplay.
'If you're not prepared to change, you're not prepared to be innovative, if you're not prepared to actually take chances, then sports will fall behind.'
He added: 'Yes, there'd be a shot clock. Yes, there'd be music and players would probably be dressed a bit differently.
'Maybe they'd only play with five or seven clubs.'
Throw in stymies and I'm in!
I feel like we've seen a precursor of this already
