@1:44 Difficulty of the shot should be factored. Cupcake taking ONE MINUTE on an 8ft, straight, level putt DOES NOT COMPARE to trying to get out of "jail" on a tough scramble shot. Me as a cardmate, I'd give you extra time on tough shots if you are being timely on the "simple" ones.
I think the PDGA needs to be very specific when the clock starts for time delays. Many players have stated that when they ask several officials they don't get the same answer.
The game is based off of the honor system so to speak. The round and everyone playing plays better if everyone consciously takes less than the 30 seconds. I’ve seen it a thousand times. It’s all about honoring the “sport”
The 30 second rule is, I believe, like the 6 second rule that you cited for goal keepers. It is designed to ensure overall pace-of-play is maintained, but calling it “at” 30 seconds or right at 6 seconds can obviously interfere with play and could even lead to slower play as the card or player disputes these calls before play resumes. I propose a rule in spirit of the 60 second timeout rule but instead of two 60 second time outs: The card or someone on the card can issue a time warning if a play has taken more than 30 seconds. If the player has clearly stepped away from the lie, the warning can be issued right then, or can be issued after the throw to avoid accidentally interfering with a throw that is about to happen (if issued during step away an additional 60 seconds is given to the player to throw that throw). After two warnings during a round (agreed by another card member of course), each subsequent exceedance of 30 seconds is a stroke penalty, with usual requirement that someone on the card concurs after each exceedance has occurred for scoring that hole and any following. This provides opportunity for players to take a little bit more time for complicated lies, at least twice in a round. They can even call it themselves just so the card knows they KNOW they are taking long. Would still count as one of the warnings. Not sure if something like this has been tried ?
Some sports, billiards for example, allow 2 time extensions per game. The extension is only 15 seconds (I think) but should provide enough time to make a call on a tough shot.

It's nice to see that the changes surrounding hot stamps will make it easier to personalise discs without being limited to dyeing them.

7:18 Conrad peeing right at the spectators lol
What does struck the prohibition on etching carving or engraving mean.
let's see a disc that comes to rest on top of the basket being allowed to count.
Can’t use tobacco products? Lolol what an outrageous rule
no more dip for gurthie.
You can still do it in B and C tiers
@ I don’t mean for me personally. I just think it’s an outrageous rule to ban tobacco products, outdoors, for law abiding adults lol
If it's at a private course, then yes, i can see that. But if it's at a local or park course then no it shouldn't
baseball did this years ago, even in the minor leagues, for players and spectators alike.
