The influence of golf, Paige Spirac, has declared a position on a debate in the course.
Aimpoint, a method to find a placement line in green, has been criticized by those who do not use it, saying that it affects the game rhythm on the PGA tour.
Spirac is in that camp after what he saw in the LPGA Tour, a player passing through his Aimpoint routine to one foot from the hole.

“Propicte the AIM point,” Spyranac published in X on a photo of the LPGA Tour player.
The slow game has been a controversial issue in golf recently, especially with rounds in tournaments such as open farmers insurance that takes almost six hours to complete.
PGA Tour’s golfer, Lucas Glover, said in Siriusxm PGA Tour Radio that, although it is not demonstrated, Aimpoint is causing these game problems in the course, it can take too much time to obtain reading and the results are not better than other methods .
Tiger Woods has a mixture with TGL teammates, which leads to a hilarious moment: “What are you doing?”
“Aimpoint statistically has not helped anyone to make more putts since its inception at the PGA Tour, the statistics have taken it,” said Glover.
Glover also pointed out how the method requires players to walk near the hole and return to the ball.

“It is also a bit rude to be close to the hole and trample, discovering where the break is. It must be prohibited. It has an eternity,” he said.
However, there are others who believe that if Aimpoint was adopted by more, the game would move faster.
“It would accelerate the game since an average of 10 seconds to read is needed,” said Europe’s senior instructor Jamie Donaldson, to Golf Monthly.
Collin Morikawa, who uses Aimpoint, listened to what Glover had to say and replied with a proposed “Putters Long” prohibition, which the latter uses.

From now on, the PGA will continue to allow Aimpoint, but the game rhythm will continue to be a hot topic in the future.
