Pace-of-Play (PoP) Deviation Monitoring (DM)

On a peak day, there are 70 to 80 players playing on the golf course. The Golf Course Manager physically monitors the players to identify if a group of players is slowing down the movement of players behind them. A lot of time is wasted before the manager can intervene and address the slow progress of the game.

PoP monitors the hole-to-hole time of individual groups and alerts the manager about the game slowing down. They can take prompt corrective action and ensure the pace of play is maintained. The system will provide a control panel in the manager’s office to get a bird’s eye view of the position of different groups of players on the golf course.

One of the major operating costs of any Golf Course is the maintenance of the Playing Turf. The maintenance entails watering, trimming and replanting. It is the replanting, which is the largest amongst these three cost heads. It involves clearing the area of dead grass, killing the weeds with pesticides, clearing the debris and waiting for a few days before seeding and watering. Although, the golf course grass is resilient to occasional walk-ons, the major reason of damaging the grass is riding the Carts on the Playing Turf.

Golf-Trak

Historical data is available (on Google Maps) for easy recall with a timestamp and the extent of deviations.
