A visitor who has done the work, and a way to tell.
Recognising the Green Card takes one scan and costs nothing. It gives your staff a fast, polite way to gauge an unknown golfer — and gives newcomers a reason to learn before they arrive.

What recognising the card gives a club
Fewer awkward conversations
Staff can check standing without interrogating a nervous first-timer.
Better pace, less damage
Visitors arrive knowing about position, raking and pitch marks — the things that cost you time and turf.
A softer front door
Something to point beginners at instead of turning them away — and a reason for them to come back.
Nothing to install
No integration, no hardware, no contract. Scan and read.
Not our numbers. The R&A's, Golf Australia's and the USGA's.
Asked what makes a slow player slow, golfers don't blame four-balls — that ranks last. They blame players who aren't ready when it's their turn. That is a teachable habit, and it is two of our six holes.

94%
of clubs saw pace improve
Golf Australia surveyed clubs that had promoted ready golf to their members. 94% reported some success at improving pace of play; a quarter called it a satisfying success.

26 min
off a four-ball's round
The R&A's own arithmetic: four players, eighty shots each, five seconds less per shot. That is 26 minutes and 40 seconds saved without anyone hurrying a swing.

60%
want a shorter round
Of 56,248 golfers surveyed across 122 countries, 60.1% said playing in less time would improve their enjoyment of the game.
What course care is actually worth
A repaired pitch mark starts recovering in 24 hours. An unrepaired one takes over three weeks. We have gathered the published research and built a calculator, so you can put a figure on it using your own rounds and wage numbers.
