I love your advocacy of walking but to solve the slow play issue you need to put a highly visible shot clock (like the NBA) on every hole so the players know how long it takes. If a recreational player can't finish the hole before the shot clock expires, then he moves to the next tee. If a touring pro, two stroke penalty.
