During the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge a video of three golfers on the green started making the rounds on social media.

All three golfers used the aim-point method of reading greens. With pace of play becoming a hot-button topic in the world of golf, fans are ready to ban aim-point.

"Forget the over-extension of the Block Party. We have real issues to deal with. Aim Point *must* be stopped," Sports Illustrated's Gabby Herzig said.

"This is insane. Just hit the putt. You had 3 days to prep and figure out the greens," added another.

"Aim point should be banned and the inventor should be rocketed into the abyss of the sun," joked a third.

Last week before his fifth major championship win, Brooks Koepka laid out a solution for pace of play issues. 

“Honestly, I would start stroking guys," he said. "If you are going to take that long, you have to get stroked. There are certain circumstances where the wind switches, something like that, it’s understandable, but taking a while is, I just think, unnecessary."

Some of the best players in the world, like Viktor Hovland and Adam Scott, employ the aim-point method. 

Is it time for the PGA Tour to make a change?
