Let's see. Average time to play 18 holes for a foursome =250 minutes. Rounding up from 13.8888889 to 14 minutes per hole includes travel to the hole.
Time clock at each tee records start time. Foursome has 14 minutes to finish the hole or pick up their balls and move on to next hole when siren sounds "time is up".
Score on hole not completed is DNF. Failure to comply to time constraints means all in foursome banned from the course for 1 year.
Eliminates backups, waiting, slow play, griping about other golfers (maybe) and pace of play. Also eliminates camaraderie, time to converse with fellow golfers, fun, enjoyment, etc.
Streamline the game and make the courses more efficient.
