I might also ramp up ranger action to assist accelerate play for amateurs who either do not know or don't care about retaining the sport moving.

2. Ciaran Campbell - "Rangers keeping a watch for slow play. Maybe some "tee by handicap" system to stop high handicap players playing from back tees during comps - it would probably help their enjoyment."

4. Geoff Jordan - "Pace of play and play-ability should be the focus. Rangers and courses need to do more to speed-up slower players, especially in early rounds. They must TEACH and enforce "ready-golf" with slow players."

Geoff persevered, "Golf carts seems to make slow gamers even slower. If they can't speed-up, get them off the route. Play-potential - more moderen publications need to be walker pleasant.

A whole education process needs to be installed area, regulations need to be set, after which enforced by rangers. Golf becomes more exciting for anybody. Of course, this may in no way take place in our lifetime."
