re: Thoughts on tour players using GPS/rangefinder devices?

The only time this would really help pace of play would be when guys are so far off line that the caddy has to spend extra time walking off yardage. Pace of play on tour isn't bad because these guys are spending time with yardage issues. Some of their preshot routines are absurd. I don't really care if they get to use rangefinders or not, but I do think the tour needs to enforce pace of play rules better. I would put every player on the clock from the start of every round. If they exceed the time limit once, it's a warning. Every time after that, it's a 1 stroke penalty. Obviously there are logistical issues to this, but it would speed up play.

Wouldnt one person playing over the time limit put everyone behind them over as well?
In my opinion I could possibly see letting the caddie use a laser but it still seems like they would still be using their yardage book. This is turn still probably doesnt improve the pace of play.
