The Cincinnati Enquirer Joe Barry of Oxford uses a global positioning system on his cart at Indian Ridge Golf Club. The GPS shows the layout of the hole and how far the cart is from the hole, water hazards and bunkers.
Riders get an automatic three-hole trial run.
It includes the distance one has to hit the ball to carry water, bunkers and trees, and there are distances to the front, center and back of the green. They know that once you try it, you're going to like it. But once you've used it, you're hooked on it because it's so helpful. It's especially helpful to players here, because we're a new course and a lot of people haven't played here before. As anybody knows who has ever used the GPS, it's a lot easier and quicker than reading a scorecard, a yardage book or a plaque on the tee.
