Separating Players Would Speed Play Significantly, But Golf Is A Social Game. Integrating Teleconferencing Into the Next Generation of Golf Carts Would Negate This Problem.
Uncategorized Add commentsGolf course owners are constantly looking for ways to speed play, but a cart carrying two people can only go but so fast. By creating single-person carts this limitation would be overcome, but this idea is good on paper alone because it eliminates the all-important factor of socialization between players.
The Problem
One vehicle carrying people to disparate locations after every golf shot slows play.
The Opportunity
Individuals that go directly to their ball without leaving the fairway for the cart path would play the hole at optimal speed.
The Insight
By creating some sort of localized audio/visual network between the golf carts of players in the same group the socialization aspect of golfing could actually be enhanced since it would change the dynamic from two groups of two to one group of four (or whatever the combination).
The Execution
Bring modern telecommunications into the world of the golf cart fleet. Hands-free audio on specific frequencies seems the logical first step.
The Selling Point
Early adopters of this paradigm shift would make a golf course newsworthy and the faster play would allow for more rounds to be played.
The Incidental Benefits
Single player carts would cost less to power and would do less harm to the playing surface. Additionally, the fun factor of driving is now extended to each player.
