Pace of Play Part 2
There has been some great feedback on pace of play and as stated earlier we are working on developing a system wide program based on your input. The feedback received contained some consistent messages for example, better trained marshals and signage but it also contained varying opinions for solutions. In order to clarify some information we thought it would be easier to put some questions to a simple vote. We still have more work to do and we appreciate your continued input as we work to develop our pace of play policy.
Golf Course Design
One of our survey questions was - what most impacts the price a course can charge? 162 (54%) responded Design of the Course. Please help us understand what design of the course means to you? Is it the age of the course? Does the clubhouse matter?

Pace of Play
The number one challenge facing the industry is the time it takes to play golf. I believe there are several items that impact the time it takes us to golf. For example, the number of holes, pace of play, pre-round warm up, time to make the turn from the 9th to 10th hole, travel to and from the course, and if you have a meal after or before the round. Depending on what you do and when you start your clock will have a great impact on the time it takes to play.
The first discussion topic for time, is pace of play. This is the number one complaint that we receive. Our goal is to develop a new standard pace of play program for the MCG system and we are looking for your help in developing this program. We will continue to direct the discussion through several sub-topics and questions so please try to address only the specific discussion topic being asked.
What is your expectation for pace of play (defined as the time you hit your first shot on #1 to the last putt on #18)? Do you believe this expectation should change according to time of day (for example, should it be 3 hours and 30 minutes at 7AM and 5 hours at 3PM)?
