Bad analogy. Do golfers have to face bouncers directed at the body, run and dive for their lives in between the wickets to keep the scoreboard ticking, make back to back to back sixes when necessary against 90 mph deliveries? No. There is no such rush, or any kind of athletic demand whatsoever.

The more you post the more ignorant you sound. There is a time constraint for every one playing professional tournament.

In Professional Billiard people can ask for a shotclock counting 45 seconds per shot. They actually show the shotclock to everybody, so the player is visibly under a time constraint. There is NO such thing in golf. Golf is actually sissier than Billiard in this regard.

In a nutshell, it says there is no time constraint in official golf rules. Whether a penalty should be given for playing unduly slowly totally depends on the tournament organizers.
No parallel to cricket, where the rules are strict, set by the ICC and have to be followed by all tournament organizers.
