Why some apples are 26 minutes slower than others – Golf Pace of Play Management Comparison

Tagmarshal is working with a course in Wisconsin, a private club that offers a unique opportunity of showing some interesting trends.
The club have a unique circumstance in that they vacate and rent out their course to a third party management company on a Monday.
This gives us a chance to compare apples with apples via round data.
We have tracked thousands of rounds on the course with the system implemented and policed on regular and member days and then there is Monday where the system is passively tracking because it is installed in the club’s carts, it is however not actively managed.
Presumably not dissimilar to what the course used to be like before before getting Tagmarshal as their Golf Pace of Play management solution.
The result:
26 minute difference on average 

Monday’s 3rd party days 4:23:44
vs
Course Busy days (Thursday / Saturday / Sunday) 3:57:52

The other telling fact is the consistency of the managed busy days – which is very steady – trend declining.
The non-Tagmarshal Monday variance is quite volatile with a 14 minute average time swing.

The course had an initial goal time of 4:10 and had classic challenges of going over the goal time regularly and sometimes heavily on its busy days. Now even the busy days are consistently below 4 hours and club management objectives have been met if not surpassed.

“TAGMARSHAL HAS HELPED OUR COURSE GET ON TOP OF PACE OF PLAY. WE ARE NOW A PROUD 4 HOUR ROUND COURSE.”

Tagmarshal Pace of Play management solution at the PGA show

Tagmarshal returned to the PGA Show in Orlando and its unique positioning as specialist golf pace of play management solution, dedicated to generating revenue for courses and creating an excellent experience for golfers is gaining further traction in the market.

Pace of Play remains a major challenge in golf and the many course owners and golf pros who came to see Tagmarshal’s booth confirmed numerous of the prevailing trends in the industry.

“We’ve tried quite a few things, but to be honest we’re flying blind and we’re not making much progress. We really need a solution and reliable data.” so a Head golf Pro from a Texas based course.

“We’re pleased to have advanced conversations with strategic partners including Troon Golf, Billy Casper Golf, TPC Golf and the Kemper Group, all among the world’s top course management companies.”

Problematic average playing time, no real-time line of sight of the playing field, member churn, limited accountability of players as well as marshals or rangers, problematic culture around slow play and pace of play, no data to measure efficiencies, high cost of cart tracking, no options for data based optimisation of course flow are among the major challenges courses are looking to solve.

Tagmarshal CEO Bodo Sieber was pleased with the outcomes of the Show, “We started conversations and built relationships with many course owners and managers who are ready to move and be pro-active about managing their pace of play efficiently. We appreciate the many positive responses and being able to build partnerships with courses who have since signed up with our solution.”

The company’s USA Director of Sales Dan Parkinson added, “We’re pleased to have advanced conversations with strategic partners including Troon Golf, Billy Casper Golf, TPC Golf and the Kemper Group, all among the world’s top course management companies. Our recent implementation of the Tagmarshal Pace of Play Management solution at Kemper’s iconic Streamsong Resort in Florida is an exciting next step for us.”
