One thing about this policy change that is certain, pace of play is going to slow down substantially. Those who opt to ride alone, and are forced to play golf path only golf, will easily take an extra 20 minutes per round at a minimum, and probably much longer in many cases. Couple that with no longer enjoying the faster play when everyone has their own cart and a typical Championship round could easily be 45 minutes longer. And as we all know too well, it doesn't matter how fast your group plays, you can only play as fast as the slowest group in front of you.
