There are quite a number of things to consider but the most  important one is:

Is there any existing app (or set of apps) that can do this?

if not, then you need to have answers to:

1. Devices to be used (all the same platform, iOS, Android, Blackberry etc) - 

2. Network coverage throughout the course

3. Who is paying for the data access?

4. Will the data be needed after (meaning you'll need a central server or sync system to be developed)

5. What happens if the device runs out of charge, will it sync it's data once its charged

6. How much user interaction will be needed to track hydration?

Once you've answered these (and many others that more skunks will provide) will you get better answers to questions like cost, duration etc.

If you know how the game works and how the course is navigated and managed, then it would be possible to draft some form of a flow chart showing the process. 

I would also look at opportunities where the players can keep a history of their play and handicaps achievement process in different tournaments and over time improvements.. A lot of thought process need to be put  in place and probably use a captain to guide you further, I am sure they have greater idea they would like to automate..

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
