How to use the Gap Time Monitor feature to manage pace of play on the golf course.
1. Accessing the Gap Time Monitor
Click the tab located in the bottom right corner of your Dashboard where your course map is displayed
This will open the Gap Time Monitor - displaying a linear representation of your active groups/tags currently playing.
2. Understanding The Course Segments
Familiarize yourself with how each hole is divided. This is done by the par of each hole:
Par 3's: Divided into (2) segments - Tee & Green
Par 4's: Divided into (3) segments - Tee, Fairway, & Green
Par 5's: Divided into (4) segments - Tee, 1st Fairway, 2nd Fairway, & Green. This helps show if a group is waiting or playing on the first part of the fairway or closer to the green.
3. Viewing Detailed Information
Hover your mouse over any of the groups/tags on the Gap Time Monitor.
Detailed information will appear including:
The group's pace of play
The group's duration of play already
Player/Member/Guest names (if the tag is or tags are appropriately assigned within the tee sheet)
Actual Starting Time
Starting Hole
Current Hole Group Is On
Interval/Gap between them and the group ahead of them
4. Managing Pace of Play
Use the information from the Gap Time Monitor in conjunction with your map widgets to manage your flow and pace of play effectively.
Ensure that you are familiar with the layout of your course(s) to interpret the Gap Time Monitor accurately.
Make it a habit to check the Gap Time Monitor at regular intervals throughout the day to proactively manage any slow or even Delayer groups.
Use the detailed information to communicate effectively with players/members/guests regarding their pace and any necessary adjustments.
