Introducing the Pace of Play Timer – Golf Just Got Smoother
“Pace of Play Timer”
Let’s be honest — few things test your patience on the course like slow play. Whether you’re stuck behind a group lining up putts for par-16 or feeling rushed yourself, pace of play affects everyone’s fun.
That’s why Buddies on the Green built something new to help:
the Pace of Play Timer — your personal golf rhythm coach.
This optional feature tracks how long you spend on each hole, keeps tabs on your average pace, and gives you real-time feedback to help you stay on track without feeling rushed. It’s like having a friendly caddie whisper, “Hey buddy, let’s keep the round moving.”
What It Does
The Pace of Play Timer quietly runs in the background while you play, tracking each hole and giving you instant feedback:
- Time per hole — see how long you’re taking on each
- Average pace — monitor consistency throughout the round
- Projected finish time — know when you’ll wrap up
- Pace indicators — green (ahead), yellow (on pace), red (behind)
It’s effortless. Start your round, play your game, and the timer does the rest.
Why Pace Matters
Good golf isn’t just about hitting fairways — it’s about rhythm, flow, and enjoying the day.
When pace slows, focus fades. But when groups move smoothly, everyone wins:
- Better rhythm — stay loose and focused
- Shorter rounds — more golf, less waiting
- Happier players — no more bottlenecks at every tee
- Course efficiency — smoother play means more satisfied golfers per day
With the Pace of Play Timer, you’re helping your group, your course, and yourself enjoy a better round.
How It Works
- Start your round as usual
- Buddies on the Green will ask if you want to track pace
- Tap “Yes, track my pace”
- Play your round — times are recorded automatically
- After the final hole, check your Pace Summary
You can even set your preference to “Always enable” or “Never ask again.” It’s fully customizable — because golf should move at your speed.
After Your Round
Your post-round summary gives a quick snapshot:
This data helps you find your natural rhythm — maybe you fly through par-3s but stall on long par-5s. Knowing that helps make every round smoother and more consistent.
Built for Golfers, by Golfers
The Pace of Play Timer was designed with real golf moments in mind — whether you’re walking solo at sunrise, playing skins with buddies, or grinding through a league round.
It adapts to your play-style without adding pressure. It’s not about finishing faster — it’s about enjoying golf’s perfect rhythm.
And for leagues, events, or shared rounds, pace tracking can help organizers spot delays and keep tournaments flowing efficiently.
Why Golf Courses Love It Too
Golf courses constantly battle slow play. With this feature, players become more aware of their pace — which naturally improves flow across the entire course.
More awareness = faster play = happier golfers = better business.
It’s that simple.
