Abstract:
A system and method for tracking the pace of play of a plurality of groups of golfers on a golf course for the purpose of eliminating slow play provides a medium having a plurality of columns of numbers thereon representing expected tee-times for a plurality of golf holes for each of the plurality of groups. An additional column of numbers on the medium represents expected finishing times for each of the plurality of groups, and a second additional column of defined spaces is provided on the medium for inserting identifying indicia for each of the plurality of groups. Actual tee-times of the groups are marked by a golf course advisor in the plurality of columns on the medium as the groups tee-off on various of the golf course holes, and adjacent ones of the marked actual tee-times for each group are connected together by the course advisor by marking straight lines on the medium to provide a graph line showing the actual pace of play of each group. That graph line is visually compared to the pace line of the group, which is a line extending through the expected tee-times of the group, to determine if the pace of play of the group is too slow. If the pace of play of the group is too slow, the course advisor can also determine if the slow pace of play of the group is affecting the pace of play of a following group or groups.
