ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring the speed play of a golfer (24, 26) comprises Location Information Transmitters (LIT) (52, 54, 56) at predetermined locations within a golf course and a Mobile Electronic Transmitter/Receiver (METAR) (48, 50) carried in association with a golfer (24, 26) on a golf bag (30) or a golf cart (28). Each LIT (52, 54, 56) periodically transmits a LIT code over a restricted transmission range (58, 60, 62) such that when METAR (48) arrives within an LIT (54) transmission range (60), the METAR (48) receives the LIT code and subsequently initiates a counter to measure time required by the golfer (24) to move within transmission range (62) of a next LIT (56). If the counter exceeds a prescribed time, then a display on the METAR (48) indicates slow play.
