QR codes for drone videos on tee signs?

[glassila]

What's your opinion on tee signs with QR codes that allows you to see a drone flyover of the hole?

I can't imagine they are good for speed of play.
I would be interested to know how often they get used?

I don't want to stir things up if your course has them!

I haven't actually seen any of them in place but I would not use them myself anyway unless there was no graphic on the tee sign. I am pretty minimalist on the amount of info I want/need from such things while on the course though. I would be much more likely to use them sitting at home to get a preview of a course I haven't played.

I've seen them in place and I tried one while we were at a tee of a long-ish hole at a local course that was in C- pos. for that day. We were waiting for a group to finish out the hole so I figured I'd take a look to kill time. I can see these being useful for a bunch of golfers including noobs and baggers new to the area passing through trying to get oriented. I agree with Bisco for the most part - I am more likely to preview a course at home but that is not often either. Definitely shows that disc golf has come a long way.

I can't imagine getting much out of drone footage on a sunny day with my spiderweb-ed phone screen, but ymmv.

I suppose if we're talking about a course with crazy elevation and blind baskets, it might come in handy, but I'd prefer a good map on the tee sign.

As Biscoe said, I can see using them at home to scout courses before hand, but almost zero chance I'd use them once I'm physically at the course.

If I really want to see what happens up around the bend, I'll just walk the fairway until I can see for myself, because I'm so used to doing it.
