Golf Slow Play can be Significantly Increased in Speed by using the Pace of Play Clocks If you are a fan of the game of golf then you will also know what a golf slow play is? For people who do not know it is the tempo of play slowed down by players’ deliberation in planning and executing strokes after teeing off in a hole. It is obvious for players to take their time before playing the stoke because they would like to get it right the first time and hit the ball as far as possible or very near to the hole. But slow play in golf could prove to be the nemesis of the TRP ratings or viewership an organization would hope to get hence it becomes necessary that golf courses do not go through such incidences.

Like there is always some solutions available to an issue, the golf slow play also got a solution in the form of pace of play clocks that keep the players on toe by telling them the time remaining during the course of play. Golf slow plays would not take occur if players are reminded of the time by pace of play clocks implanted at vantage points. These are special clocks designed to work in outdoors and have huge dials so people standing at far distances can also know the exact time without difficulty. The clocks are programmed to show the time allotted for a hole after teeing off and will show the progress as well as the scheduled time within which the play has to be concluded. This will surely and definitely galvanize players into fast action and complete the course within the stipulated or warranted time period. The clocks can be highly versatile as they can be digital and wireless synchronizing accurate time with the help of satellites such as GPS systems. They are all weather proof and needing minimal or no maintenance for long periods. Since the clocks derive their time from time networks or satellites and also generate power using solar panels they are the most suitable for outdoor deployment especially in the golf course. Having neatly placed digital clocks that can also display messages would look elegant and significantly increase the ambience of the golf club and its reputation. A golf course owner is well advised to adapt these measures if the club is witnessing go slow play and will see membership increasing for the club very soon.
