"We're going to lose fans because we are taking so long to play"

Stacy Lewis was talking about the LPGA Tour but she certainly could have been referring to the men’s game as well.

Returning to Scotland for the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open, one of the fastest players in the game discussed the issue in this piece by Beth Ann Nichols.

The key quote:

“I just think it needs to be a courtesy thing,” said Lewis, “because we need to realize as a tour, we’re going to lose people watching us and we’re going to lose fans because we are taking so long to play and I think that’s what really needs to be hammered home to people is we need to do it more from that side than anything.”
