So in our continuing solution to trying to fix slow play, could caddies/forecaddies be the answer? You have what is basically an employee (think most are independent contractors but they are paid by the course) of the course with every group, they are helping give reads, find balls and club players, could they also be the ones in charge of maintaining pace of play?
If their group finishes in a certain time they get a bump in rate from the course. Finish over a certain time and they get paid less. As I have not caddied, would those that have think this is something that could help? Obviously it is not the end all be all as most courses in the US do not have caddy programs, but maybe more should?
Thanks to Parrot for the inspiration with his recent thread.
