To keep things simple here goes:

1. If the idea is executable?
Yes
2. What needs to be in place for it to be executed?
Signed agreement as far as hardware on the ground ~> Nothing
3. Time-lines for developing the App?
Depends on final requirements specification and assumptions that all requirements are provided for in a timely manner
4. Cost of App?
As 3 above, would depend on the requirements
5. Technology on the golf course to ensure the app is working?
None whatsoever.
6. Any other relevant information?

All that's needed is:
- To implement an app that make use of GPS and Maps APIs
- Pre-plot the GPS coordinates of the "watering holes" and have that data put on the map
- Define after what distance a player needs to re-hydrate. This would be redundant as the watering holes can be placed at points that are obviously the places players need to re-hydrate.... unless you want to make things more interesting and use each players' BMIs to determine when each player should re-hydrate.
- Distance coverage. This should be a no-brainer if you leverage the GPS api on the phone. You can then get the distance from there

Hope this points you in a favorable direction

Subject: [Skunkworks] OT- Mobile App - urgently needed below are specs...        contact me if it is

We are currently on an event plan for our client a soft drinks manufacturer and we would like your professional opinion before we present our ideas formally. We wish to develop an app to be used at a golf tournament- an app that will show users the distances they have covered, when they need to re-hydrate and the nearest watering points etc.

Kindly give us your opinion on: -

• If the idea is executable
• What needs to be in place for it to be executed
• Timelines for developing app
• Cost of app
• Technology needed on the golf course to ensure app is working
• Any other relevant information
