Criticism Grows Over A Lim Kim's AimPoint Use at Honda LPGA Thailand

News summary

A Lim Kim sparked controversy during the third round of the Honda LPGA Thailand by using the AimPoint technique on a short, one-foot putt, drawing criticism from fans and fellow golfers alike. Critics, including prominent figures like Lee Westwood and Dottie Pepper, argue that employing AimPoint on such a short distance is excessive and contributes to slow play, a growing issue in professional golf. The AimPoint method, which involves assessing green slopes using foot placement and finger positioning, is praised by some for its effectiveness but condemned by others for slowing down the game. Kim's tap-in routine, which took only seconds, was nonetheless labeled as 'ridiculous' by many on social media. Despite the backlash, Kim finished the tournament in sixth place, with some supporters defending her use of AimPoint as a valid technique. The debate over AimPoint's role in golf continues, with calls for its ban gaining traction among players and fans concerned about pace of play.
