Look here

Anyone see this in the PGA show? Looks like it depends how responsive said slow player/s is/are, but I can see this being effective. Anyways, encouraging to see new attempts at solutions.

The company is in Australia - is slow play a big problem down under? It sure is in my neck of the woods.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

City Club in Marietta,GA has a similar setup.  Each cart had a GPS screen that showed your location and the carts in front of and behind you.  The screen would also display a message telling you that you were behind pace.  It's a great tool if you're courteous and care about keeping pace.  Unfortunately, the guys we were paired with hit so many balls in the woods that it was impossible for them to keep pace.  I think it would be a good tool for the clubhouse to monitor and identify areas they might want to send a marshal.

A course I play a few times per year has the same setup.  It sounds pretty much the same as this product, or at least it serves the same purpose.

It also has one additional and hugely useful benefit: it can show you where the group in front of you is located.  Ever have a cart come darting out of the woods just after you hit your tee shot and then worry about nailing them?  This sort of addresses that.
