Golf influencer Paige Spirancac has declared an attitude about a hot discussion on the course.
Aimpoint, a method of finding a green placement, was criticized by those who don’t use it, saying that it affects the pace of games on Pga tour.
The Spiranac is in that camp after what she saw on the LPGA tour – a player who was passing through their Ampoint routine, a leg from the hole.

“Ban Aim Point,” Spiranac posted on X in the picture of the LPGA Tour player.
The slow game was recently a controversial topic in Golf, especially with rounds in tournaments like Farmers Insuranca Open, which took almost six hours.
PGA Tour Golfer Lucas Glover said at Siriusxm PGA Tour that, although it has not been proven that Aimpoint causes this pace of playing in the course, it can be too long to read, and the results are not better than other methods.
“Ampoint statistically did not help anyone to make more departures from its inception at PGA Tour, the statistics singled out,” Glover said.
Glover also pointed out that the method demands that the players walk near the hole and return to the ball.

“It is also kind of rude to be up near the hole and hit around, understand where the break is in your feet. It needs to be banned. It lasts forever,” he said.
There are others, however, who believe that Aimpoint would adopt more, the game would move faster.
“He would accelerate the game because it takes an average of 10 seconds to read,” European older instructor Jamie Donaldson said golf a month.
Collin Morikawa, who uses Aimpoint, heard what Glover had to say and return with the proposed ban on a “long way”, which the latter benefits.

So far, PGA will continue to allow Aimpoint, but the pace of games will still be a hot topic that goes ahead.
