I can’t watch this guy play golf anymore. I really can’t.
Back at the Northern Trust Open, it took J.B. Holmes nearly 2 minutes to attempt a single putting stroke in one of the earlier rounds. This past weekend – it took him nearly an hour to play 2 holes. This guy makes Ben Crane look like Seabiscuit.
It is obvious that Bubba Watson has matured the last couple of years as a player. He’s no longer THIS guy, who obviously had a short fuse back in the day. But it would have been warranted had he called Holmes out on his slow play back on Saturday.
J.B. Holmes will continue to play as slowly as the PGA Tour allows, which is basically however quickly or slowly he wants to play. It’s absolutely shameless.
It really is a shame because I used to like JB. But unlike the PGA Tour I have zero tolerance for slow play – much less almost comatose play – and so JB now moves up my Golfers That I Do Not Like List
