I can't imagine this technology would be that expensive and while it probably wouldn't be enough to get me to go play Carter again, it would be very cool to have on courses I do play.

Cool? Perhaps.

Further slowing pace of play on a course that is already a 5 hour round? Absolutely.

Yes, the concept is incredibly cool. And Yes, the implementation of the concept is different than the concept.

Gambling is an incredibly big part of amateur golf.

Absolutely. I'd say 99 out of every 100 rounds I play there is some type of coinage on it. Sometimes very little. Sometimes a bunch. Just all depends.

This is stupid and will slow down the pace of play.

If you want to video your swing, use a cell phone. You don't need to buy into this system which will more than likely be insanely glitchy and not work.

I’ve played a course with similar tech before. It pretty cool. You can bet on yourself! The place I played I put up $100 bucks on a par three for a chance to win $250k with a hole in one. I know those odds are awful but it was fun.

Looks like this place charges courses 3-5k a month for it. Thats ludicrous.
