About

PaceKeeper Golf

Features
Read full description

PaceKeeper is the only app, device, and system that continuously reminds golfers of their pace status throughout the round. PaceKeeper provides golf courses and tournament organizers with a simple phone app and color-coded messaging device for players, and an online system that allows staff to monitor all pace of play throughout the course. The Bluetooth-enabled color-coded tag attaches to carts or bags and helps keep all players in the foursome aware of their pace of play in a non-confrontational manner. PaceKeeper enables a collaborative, proactive effort between the course and players to improve pace and make the game more fun. PaceKeeper color codes are green for on pace, yellow for 5-10 minutes behind, and red for 10 minutes late or more. Purple indicates a weather warning, requesting that all players take shelter. This flexible system also provides managers and organizers a platform to conduct promotions to encourage players to “Finish On The Green" to earn rewards. The PaceKeeper system also includes an online password-protected portal that allows course and tournament administrators to: - View a map of the entire course and all the PaceKeeper activity on a real-time basis, so staff can act accordingly when a golf group plays slower than expected - Retrieve reports on historical pace data - Analyze individual pace performances - Adjust time allocations for each hole - Configure shotgun tournament formats - And more!
