It’s all but universally agreed upon that golf has a pace of play issue.
In a world that increasingly demands instant gratification, the traditional 4-hour round is a stretch, while the far-more-common-than-it-should-be 5-hour round is a deal-breaker. Wouldn’t it be nice if 18 holes could be played in 3 hours or less?
That’s perhaps ambitious, but this year’s PGA Show featured a selection of products that aim to increase pace of play and significantly reduce the time it takes to play a round of golf. Listen as MyGolfSpy founder, Adam Beach, discusses two possible solutions; Tagmarshal and the single rider golf cart.

At my course we do cart and walking golf and there is not much difference in pace if the guys play appropriately. They got Tagmarshal and I can honestly say that we as members have never been happier, it informs everyone, there are facts and data for the club to manage the slow guys with before they mess up the day. We used to have anything from 4 to 5.5hr rounds. Now it is 4hrs, 4.10hrs and thats it. They even put a TV with live play on a map in the clubhouse. It definitely works.
