Is it because my stomach hurts?

The 'slow play' that exhausts companions and fans deserves to be blamed. However, if it wasn't for dragging your feet, would this be something to be criticized for.

Kim A-rim, who plays on the LPGA Tour, is very strong in the early stages of the new season. Won the opening Hilton Grand Venations Tournament of Championships. And she finished sixth in the Honda LPGA Thailand, her second tournament of the season.




I feel like I'm at the peak of my performance. But out of nowhere, he was caught up in the controversy of 's slow play'.

The problem occurred on the fourth hole play in the third round of Honda LPGA Thailand. Kim Arim hit the par 3 tee shot well. I put the ball on the hole about 30cm. It's Buddy no matter who looks at it. However, Kim A-rim used 'Aime Point' to grasp the topography of the green with a slight slope. 'Aim Point' refers to the technique of reading the slope drawn by golfers before putting. There is a player who stands on his two feet in the space between the ball and the hole and feels inclined, and he closes one eye behind the ball and spreads his fingers to read the green.

The problem is that recently 'Aim Points' is considered to be part of 'Slow Play', which is criticized for being avoided in professional golf. If you're too careful, it's definitely taking a lot of time. PGA stars Colin Morikawa and Lucas Glover recently argued over the issue. When Glover criticized 'Aime Point', Morikawa, who often uses 'Aime Point', launched a counterattack.




In the case of Kim A-rim, a post about her acting uselessly was posted on social media, and there was a big repercussion. Local media in the United States also quoted the post as reporting. It was also noisy, with an article stating that Kim Arim did nothing wrong.

Regardless of whether 'Aim Point' is a problem, it is important whether Kim A-rim did something that would annoy her companions or fans in the scene. Even if it was a short putt, it was an important birdie putt, so Kim A-rim, who carefully felt the slope of the loss, putt immediately. It's important that it didn't take as long as ' to cause irritation'. If you capture only the scene of 'Aim Point' and post provocatively, it has become a good situation for those who are not familiar with the situation to criticize without thinking.

Kim A-rim may have been criticized or ridiculed if she looked at the slope for a long time from front to back, used the `Aime Point' and putted it in a great routine, but it would be right to say that this scene did not correspond to that situation.
