What's The Time Par?

DateTuesday, June 21, 2005 at 09:24 AM

Bruce Berlet Hartford Courant offers a fun slow play anecdote from Westchester:

Thursday, in the first round of the Barclays Classic at Westchester Country Club, [Paul] Azinger was in the fairway on his final hole when he signaled for a PGA Tour official."

"Need something?" the official asked.

"Not really," Azinger said, "just wondering what the time par is."

When told it was 4:20 for 18 holes for threesomes [3:45 for twos], Azinger said, "Well, we're at 5:05, so I just thought I'd call you over to pass some time."
