ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of a golf course timing method and system are shown and described. A countdown timer is carried by a golfer or flight of golfers to indicate the golfer's progress relative to an allotted maximum time for the total course and/or for each hole. Elapsed time or time left to play may be indicated. The timer may be programmed to account for different playing times for the various holes of the course. This programming may be done by programming an electronic timer, by printing a graphic design or arranging moveable blades on the timer face so that the clock hand points to the individual holes at the appropriate time, or by other methods. Alternatively, a printed schedule may be assigned to each flight of golfers. The golfers may then be made responsible for keeping up a smooth, consistent, and reasonable pace on the course, which relieves tension and allows more flights of golfers per day. The timer may be checked by golf course personnel on the course or may transmit signals to a clubhouse for monitoring at a distance.
