A round of over 4 hours is a slow round on our course, even on Saturdays. We don't use marshals and the time between tee-offs is 6 minutes. We use domed yardage markers that can actually be seen from the rough, so players go directly to their balls getting distances and making club selections on the way. This leads to fewer lost balls and players are ready to play on reaching their ball.

The poll on yardage markers needs to include all options to have any relevance. Lasers are great for golfers able to hit to the yard, and GPS is a bit of a toy. For 95% of golfers it's hard to beat 3 or 4 colored Hi-spot markers down the center.
