Nothing really new here, other than some companies I never heard of, would guess many new firms are being created until demand is met. Nothing about course management, just examples of the firms telling their clients what to practice and the examples here are "Putt better!".

It is a golden age for number crunchers in sports — the book and Oscar-nominated movie “Moneyball” gave advanced analytics mainstream acceptance. Finally it is infiltrating golf, a game overrun by numbers and statistics, and “stats guys” are becoming as important to tour pros as swing instructors and fitness trainers are. They parse statistics to create better training plans and arm the golfers with game plans for each week.

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