Speed Up Order Given To Golfers
U S golfers receive another speed up order from the USGA effective immediately. A player may be penalized one stroke in medal play or lose a hole in match play for slow play, with possible disqualification on repeat offenses. The change follows earlier measures to curb slow play and aligns with rules clarifications on hazards and ball movement.
