Slow play? A scourge. Playoffs to decide a tournament? There's got to be a better way! Luckily for you, Alex Perry and Matt Chivers have nothing better to do

Playoffs are an annoying way to end a golf tournament, aren’t they? After 72 holes of stroke play, the stars don’t want to go out there and play more. So in this episode of The Slam – a National Club Golfer podcast in association with CallawayAlex Perry and Matt Chivers have some sensible and some not-so sensible ideas to fix it. 

While we’re fixing golf, let’s tackle Patrick Cantlay and slow play. Maybe we should just throw more money at the situation and see what happens.

Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy’s controversial WD from the RBC Heritage was a huge talking point from the weekend, and we ask who is the PGA Tour’s most underrated superstar?

Oh, and that reaction from the caddie GOAT that is Billy Foster.

That’s a lot to squeeze into 45 minutes, so let’s dive in…
