Abstract:
A system for enabling tracking of the pace of play of a plurality of groups of golfers on a golf course for the purpose of eliminating slow play, said system comprising:a medium having a plurality of columns of numbers thereon representing expected tee-times for a plurality of golf holes for each of said plurality of groups;a first additional column of numbers on said medium representing expected finishing times for each of said plurality of groups;a second additional column of defined spaces on said medium for inserting identifying indicia for each of said plurality of groups; andmeans for inserting said identifying indicia into said second additional column of defined spaces on said medium and for tracking the pace of play of said plurality of groups by marking actual tee-times of said groups in predetermined of said plurality of columns on said medium as said groups tee-off on various of said golf course holes and by connecting together adjacent ones of said actual marked tee-times on said medium for each said group by a substantially straight line to create a graph line that is visually compared to a pace line of said group, which is a line extending through the expected tee-times of said group, whereby a course advisor can determine if the pace of play of said group is too slow and if the pace of play of said group is affecting the pace of play of a following group or groups.
