You know, at Misawa, the GPS golf carts have a timer to tell you your pace, and when you're running too long, someone will come out and tell you to move it along. Completely forgot about it, but I missed that.There is a solution to this problem, not one that I have in mind with specifics, but technology would have to be involved. Think ad-hoc wifi, RFID, incentives for quick play, hidden(or not) monitors on tee boxes and greens, a way for the course to better keep track of and manage without having to troll some guy on a cart all the time telling people to keep pace.
Private/elite courses may not have to do this sort of thing but I guarantee someone is out there developing something like this.
As relatively cheap as this sort of technology is becoming, it's only a matter of time.
Not exactly apples to apples, but I envision an evolution similar to how bowling alleys now keep score. It wasn't too long ago that bowlers had to write down their scores after every shot and add up between frames, etc.
Almost every course I play at has some guy scribbling down your cart number and taking down your name. Doesn't that seem a little antiquated?
Maybe I am way off, just thought I would share that thought on the subject.
