You are in no way solving the problem( that is, if slow play is high up on your list of the problem areas in golf), you are just passing the buck and at the same time making leeway for the slow goers…that does remind me of one thing I noticed during an European Tour event, Niclas Fasth is actually one of the slower players on the tour(I know irrelevant, but I did have to make that point somewhere). The Made the Cut Did not Finish ruling is hard to digest simply because of the fact that what it essentially says is that a player makes the cut but does not make the cut. I would rather have a simpler ruling in place which just brings down the cut line. What else can you do if you do not want more than a certain number in the field to play. It is not as if someone from that point onwards has gone on to win the tournament. At least that is what the PGA Tour stats over the last decade or so seem to suggest One thing is for sure that the Tour officials cannot use the excuse of slow play to implement this absurd cut policy.
