Hahn: "If you’re going to allow measuring devices, you might as well allow carts because that speeds up play."

Stephanie Wei talked to tour pros about distance measuring devices further seeping into the competitive game, and Mr. Gangnam Chestbumper himself, James Hahn offered these sage words.

“Getting the yardages is a natural part of the game. It goes with the preparation of the golf course. If you’re going to allow measuring devices, you might as well allow carts because that speeds up play. If you want to speed up play, let’s speed up play. I think they’re looking in the wrong area for that.

“They need to focus on how much time they’re giving a player to hit a shot and if it’s 40 seconds, then you start timing them as soon as they get to the first tee box and might as well have everybody get an official warning before they tee off — if you’re out of position, you’re going to get penalized. I think that would help more because if you penalize someone a stroke, now you’re in their pocket.”
