Questions & Answers Responses from PGA/LPGA Teachers on FINDaLESSON.com                                                                                  << BACK From Susan, golfer: How long does a PGA pro have to take a shot in tournament play once he has located it.  Is it somewhere around 40 seconds? I need an exact #.  Thanks! PGA/LPGA TEACHING PROFESSIONAL RESPONSES: Texas "Susan: The PGA Tour gives them 40 seconds to pull the trigger unless they are the first to play a tee shot, then they have 45. Remember however that players of this level are only hitting around 72 shots on average. If the average player took this long it would take 6 hours to play a round."   - Dave Baron, Teaching Professional
