Golf Paige Spiranac has explained a position about a hot debate about the course.
Aimpoint, a method to find a well line on the green, has been criticized by those who do not use it and say that it is the pace of the game on the PGA Tour.
Spiranac is in that camp after what she saw on the LPGA Tour – a player who runs their Airpoint -routine, a foot of the hole.

“Ban Air Point,” Spiranac posted on X about a photo of the LPGA Tour player.
Slow Play has recently been a controversial subject in Golf, especially with rounds in tournaments such as the Farmers Insurance Open that take almost six hours to complete.
PGA Tour golfer Lucas Glover said on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio that, although it is not proven that Aimpoint causes this pace of playing problems on the course, it can take too long to read and the results are no better than other methods.
“Aimpoint has noticed anyone statistically to make more puts since its foundation on the PGA Tour, the statistics have broken that down,” Glover said.
Glover also pointed out how the method requires that players walk near the hole and go back to the ball.

“It is also a bit rude to be in the vicinity of the hole and to stamp around, find out where the break is in your feet. It must be forbidden. It takes forever,” he said.
However, there are others who believe that if Aimpoint was assumed by more, the game would move faster.
“It would accelerate the game, because it takes an average of 10 seconds to read”, Europe’s senior instructor Jamie Donaldson Golf told monthly.
Collin Morikawa, who uses Aimpoint, heard some glover to say and answered with a proposed ban on ‘Long Putters’, which the latter uses.
