Golfers agree on very few things. Equipment preferences vary wildly. Opinions on course conditions can change from one group to the next. Even something as simple as golf fashion can create spirited debate. 

Pace of play, though? Surely we can find some common ground there.  

Nearly every golfer agrees that slow play is a problem, but we have seen the disagreement begin when we ask how much it should impact the experience. 

That question serves as the foundation for Episode 2 of Splitting Fairways, the THP podcast where Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox” explore the conversations golfers are already having every day. Rather than trying to determine who is right and who is wrong, the show examines both sides of golf’s most divisive topics and the perspectives that shape them. 

This week, the discussion shifts from golf fashion to one of the most common complaints in the game. 

Are golfers too obsessed with pace of play? 

The topic originated from a discussion on the THP Forum that challenged a common assumption. The original post wasn’t defending slow play. Instead, it questioned whether golfers sometimes allow pace of play to affect their enjoyment of the game more than it should. 

Predictably, the responses were divided. 

One side argued that pace matters because golf is a shared experience. Slow groups impact everyone behind them, disrupt rhythm, and demonstrate a lack of awareness for other players on the course. 

The opposing view suggested that golfers have become conditioned to treat every delay as a crisis. Waiting occasionally is not the same thing as slow play, and in an era of increased participation and crowded tee sheets, some delays are simply part of the experience. 

As the episode unfolds, the conversation moves well beyond pace of play itself. 

Topics such as golf’s continued growth, public versus private course expectations, respect for fellow golfers, and modern expectations of convenience all become part of the discussion. Along the way, several memorable comments from THP Forum members help illustrate just how passionate golfers can become when discussing pace. 

Whether you believe slow play is one of the game’s biggest issues or think golfers sometimes allow it to overshadow an otherwise enjoyable round, Episode 2 explores both perspectives. 

After listening, we want to hear from you. 

Is slow play ruining golf, or are golfers letting it ruin golf?

Golfers agree on a lot of things. We love the game. We obsess over equipment. We plan trips months in advance and can spend hours discussing a single hole, club, or round. 

What golfers do not do particularly well is agree with each other. 

That idea is the foundation behind Splitting Fairways, a new podcast from THP that explores the conversations golfers are already having every day. Hosted by Ryan “Hawk” and Jeremy “Lord Tox”, the show takes topics from around the game and examines them from opposing viewpoints. The goal is not to crown a winner or loser. Instead, it is to explore both sides of the debate and understand why golfers often see the same issue so differently. 

Golf is full of these conversations. 

Equipment. Travel. Etiquette. Golf culture. Style. Fitting. The way we experience the game continues to evolve, and not every golfer feels the same way about those changes. Splitting Fairways was created to provide a place for those discussions while keeping the focus on what brings golfers together in the first place: a shared passion for the game. 

For the inaugural episode, we start with a question that sounds simple on the surface: 

Are golf shorts getting too short? 

What began as a discussion on the THP Forum quickly revealed something much bigger. Golfers were not really arguing about inseam length. They were debating what golf should look like today. 

For some, modern golf fashion represents a natural evolution of the game. Golf apparel has become more athletic, more comfortable and more reflective of broader style trends. Just as equipment, instruction and course design have changed over time, many believe golf fashion should continue evolving as well. 

Others see things differently. They believe certain trends move too far away from the traditions that helped define golf for generations. For them, presentation remains part of the experience, and some modern styles simply do not fit the image they associate with the game. 

That tension sits at the heart of the discussion. The conversation touches on self-expression, golfer identity, generational perspectives and the difference between etiquette and personal preference. Most importantly, it explores whether golf can continue evolving without losing the elements that made people fall in love with it in the first place. 

In many ways, Splitting Fairways Episode 1 serves as the perfect introduction to what Splitting Fairways aims to be. The topic may be golf shorts, but the discussion is really about identity. It is about how golfers view the game, how those views change over time and why even seemingly small topics can generate strong opinions. 

After watching or listening to Splitting Fairways Episode 1 we want to hear from you!

Are golf shorts getting too short, or is this simply another example of golf evolving with the times?
