Ben Crane: Still Painfully, Unbelivably Slow at Golf

A few weeks ago at the PGA Championship, noted slow golfer Sean O'Hair scooted around Hazeltine - a major championship course (read: tough) - in 2 hours, 13 minutes

This weekend, more monolithic Ben Crane got the chance to show that he, too, could play quickly as a single at TPC Boston.

Three hours and nineteen minutes later, Crane left everybody feel satisfied that he is the slowest person on the planet.

After the jump, may I present (and invite you to post your own)...

Thanks for the laugh, Ryan. Well played, sir!

I have to add that I read this after I walked nine holes after work today. On the fourth hole, as I walked away from the green, I saw a little one-inch baby Snapping turtle making his way from the creek that was doubtlessly his birthplace. Had I read this beforehand, I would have asked Ben Crane if I could play through and for his autograph besides.

Haha, awesome. I used to be able to play nine holes in like 90 minutes. And Crane had no one in front of him!

O'Hair

Sean O’Hair was paired with Kevin Na in the final round of the Deutsche Bank. Na also is noted as a slow player, especially when it comes to reading putts. Bob Murphy said something to the extent of, “Better watch out for these guys!” Or at least don’t fall asleep watching them.

LMAO ! Good stuff RB ! I saw that he was by himself and wondered how fast he would get around.

Kevin Na is definitely slow around the greens – but he is a bit like Nicklaus because he walks very quickly between shots, so his overall time is pretty good – he just looks slow because of the time he takes on the green.

(thank god congress can’t get their act together – if they can keep up this level of incompetence, maybe enough people will figure out what they are doing and protest against it)

quick aside on politics: when my insurance rate eats up my salary increase every year and then some, I want to protest. Fat chance that will do me any good. Tort reform, and better control of the insurance trust would do more for health reform than almost anything, but you will never see that.

Kevin Na is also hell on caddies. I’ve read several stories where his former caddies were all in lockstep about what a jerk he was to them. That alone makes me dislike him.
