Is the golf shaft the most misunderstood piece of equipment in your bag?

I’d wager it is.

I have a buddy – several actually – who routinely drop $350 on a new shaft—all because a Tour pro used it to win last month or because his jackass friend (me) thinks it’s the best thing ever.

You probably know somebody like that. You might even be that guy.

Why is that so pervasive?

No matter how you slice it, how you look at it (and despite the ungodly amount of money it costs to snag this pair), I stand by my statement.

Slow play is an issue golf has wrestled with for decades.

And when it comes to the PGA Tour, the glacial pace of play hurts the viewing experience while altering the integrity of the competition itself.

For ages, the Tour has mostly ignored slow play. It has handed out fines, anonymously, while almost never penalizing players with added strokes during tournaments.

As Collin Morikawa said prior to this week’s Players Championship, that strategy hasn’t worked. “We make so much money and some guys, frankly, couldn’t care less about it.”

But after many, many years of failing to address slow play, the Tour has finally announced tangible measures to get players moving.

A bogey feels recoverable. Sometimes, you can even make a “good” bogey. But double bogeys are different. Now you need two birdies to erase it and your hope of posting the low round of the day starts to fade. The key is to keep double bogeys off the scorecard. Here are some practical tips to help you do it

Play from the correct tees

If you have lost distance or your skill level does not justify playing from the back tees, it’s time to accept reality and move up. Playing from tees too long for your carry distances makes it even harder to hit greens in regulation. You will force long irons and hybrids into your approaches and bring more hazards into play.

Stop turning one bad shot into two

Every golfer hits bad shots during a round. The key is avoiding the “hero” recovery shot that leads to a double. If your ball is in the heavy rough or the woods, take the safe route out and focus on getting up and down.

Trying to squeeze a shot through a tight window or hitting a knockdown shot you are uncomfortable with only adds unnecessary strokes. Think through your options, choose the shot with the highest success rate and return to a safe position.

Chipping out of trouble can result in a bogey which is much better than letting one bad swing turn into a double or worse.
