Because having an incentive program never made anyone any money.A course should willfully give away revenue as a reward for something that golfers should do anyways? I'm not sure I love that idea.

Imagine the **** storm thrown the first time a group of fast players are stuck behind slow players and throw a fit because they would have gotten their free hot dog but the slow group put them off of pace.Because having an incentive program never made anyone any money.
Like I already said, players are tracked individually not totally. Your pace is your pace.Imagine the **** storm thrown the first time a group of fast players are stuck behind slow players and throw a fit because they would have gotten their free hot dog but the slow group put them off of pace.
That's not fair to the course. The only real thing a course can do is have Rangers and marshals sheep dog slow golfers, assuming the course has Rangers and marshals
One of the courses I play has signs every 3 holes that say "you should be here within 1hr 15min" and so on. It also tees off of your handicap. There is a sign on the first hole that list handicap ranges to what tee you should play. Seems to work out pretty well. pace of play is usually under 4 hours.
It may just be me, but it seems that the pros on tour are taking longer and longer for their shots. Going through their yardage books, discussing at length what club and where to hit the ball, tossing grass in the air, watching the trees for wind, heck the next thing I think we will see is a full bore weather station pulled out of their bag.
I believe this kind of behavior really bleeds over to the everyday golfer that watches them on TV and contributes to the slow play that no one likes. Just this weekend, I watched a guy pull out his course map, then use his laser range finder, then the grass toss, then back to the range finder, then chose the club. After he addressed the ball, he then had a change of heart on his club selection and went to grab a different one, but not before using the range finder again !
I think it's time for a shot clock on tour. What say you ?
