    Why make golf faster? My wife thinks a round takes 7-8 hours. I'm gone all day. It's great. Everything in this world wants to be faster. Leave golf alone. Relax and enjoy your round. How do you drink beers on this thing anyways.

      Want more players? Eliminate drivers and make a sport of chip and put. Half the length of a given hole is used for the driver. A course could be half the size if it was all par 3's. Besides drivers kill your back and are one of the hardest skills to master for casual players.
      Start a parallel chip and putt PGA focusing on iron and putter skills and greens fees would be much lower and more people would golf.

    If they want to speed up play, put GPS yardage markers on the carts. People get out look around for distance, then select a club, practice swing, line up, then finally hit. When they know the yardage it saves almost a minute per player per approach shot and on Par 3's. Also they can increase the cup an extra 1-2 inches.

To them, they have an incentive to be that way to get as many players through the course as possible to make more money, i just want to take a little time to enjoy what i paid for.

    Half the wheels, 1/2 the passengers and twice the conveyances. Should prove to be a very viable alternative to the carts. I don't think it's going to have much of an impact on the speed of play, though. Firstly, they would have to be required by the Clubs
    for playing the courses. While they would reduce the overall time for players to get to their balls, the carts which do so vs. walking aren't required so, I can't "see" these becoming required, either. Also, there's other aspects- of playing a round- that would be negatively impacted. One is the use of the sport for the very healthy exercise of walking! World Renowned Longevity Expert...- Dr. Ni- states, in his book about the criteria amassed from interviewing Centinarians over a 20 year period, that all Centinarians walked at least one hour per day and, most of them for at least 2. I can find myself on both ends of the playing speed situation and, understand the detractions from being "held-up" by slower players. It can, really, ruin the experience! Fast play can, also. I've seen at least one course that's posted the expected rate of holes/hr. I, definitely, understand that! And, it's, probably, the best way of addressing the problem: a limited time/hole being part of the purchase agreement. For the slower players this incentivizes utilizing the optional transportation. The carts are a more socializing platform than a cycle would be but, the cycles should prove to increase a groups playing speed. This is, unfortunately, likely to increase waiting for golfers who chose that option, though. Many people have an entirely different application of a golf outing. Some courses prohibit bringing alcohol to their courses. Not the consumption of it while playing at their course. Just, the consumption of alcohol they didn't sell! For many, a round of golf is much more like socializing at a cafe, business outing or bar/restaurant. They're, likely, to feel that a significantly increased rate of playing speed is hasty. There's the edicate of letting faster groups play through but, when a course is very busy, that can become impractical. I think that the cycles should prove a good addition to golf outing options but, don't think they're going to resolve the "playing speed" dilemma.

    The majority of weekend golfers are not good golfers, they want to drink, hang out and have fun. They are the core of the golf course income. Better players that want to play faster need to go elsewhere, pay top dollars to play less crowded courses that are more difficult. It is not slow play that hurts the industry. Sudden!y they focus on that as a major issue. It might be beneficial for golf tv broadcasting but I can't imagine that faster play will make or break a golf course financials.
    You can't ask a hacker to play faster. They will stop playing if they get the added pressure and that would cost the course a bunch.

    Courses are always trying to push player thru as fast as they can to make more money... for what they charge, I’m gonna spend as much time as I can on each hole...

    Never take off in the UK because health and safety will make a crash helmet compulsory.

    Sorry - All I can see are young adults with a few beers in them doing something incredibly stupid & hurting themselves or someone else.

    No, make people walk, it will get rid of people that come to play golf because they watched the PGA's waste management tournament and think that that's what golf is.

    I don’t think it would help slow play that much.... but far more fun!
