There has been lots of talk lately about slow play. Golf Twitter was all over Patrick Cantlay during the Masters for taking too long and it continued Friday when he made an ace during the second round of the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
When his hole-in-one was posted by the official PGA Tour account, nearly every comment and quote tweet continued to poke fun at his deliberate play style.
On top of that, golf is facing a distance crisis.
But the real problem in this sport is handshakes. Players and caddies just can’t seem to figure out how to high-five. It’s a real dilemma.
It happened again Friday when Scottie Scheffler chipped in for eagle and he and his looper, Ted Scott, were not on the same page when it came to their celebration.
I mean, this is tough to watch.

Golf Twitter was once again right on top of it, no one cared about the great shot.

A constant struggle
Golfers and Caddies simply cannot master any type of high five.
