A device and method for regulating a pace of golf play. A golf course is divided into segments, with each segment assigned a time for completion by a user golfer group. Spaced apart signal lights are positioned on the golf course. Each golfer group is provided with a wireless positioning device. A computing device compares an elapsed time for completion of a number of segments with the total assigned time for the number of segments completed. The computing device wirelessly actuates a visual signal to the golfer group by a signal light on the golf course when the elapsed time for completion of the number of segments by the user golfer group is greater than the total assigned time for the number of segments completed. The device and method take into account impediments to pace of play that are outside of the golfer group's control.

A chair (10) having adjustable height includes a seat (11) and a number of leg members (12). An adjusting mechanism (30) includes an insert sleeve (40) received within a hollow area (31) of a leg member (12). The insert sleeve (40) has an internal thread (52) which threadably receives a leg extension (60) having an external thread (61). Rotation of the leg extension (60) within the sleeve (40) adjusts the length of the leg member (12).

An apparatus is provided which is adapted to be connected in communication with a single stream of water and which is constructed and arranged to divide the single stream of water into a plurality of streams of water. The apparatus defines a fluid stream through a fluid chamber into a mixing chamber and forms the plurality of streams by directing the water through a foraminous nozzle member. The apparatus also includes an additive chamber adapted to contain an additive and includes provision for mixing some of the water with the additive in the additive chamber and supplying the mixture of additive and water to the mixing chamber for formation, along with the plain water, into a plurality of streams of water through the foraminous nozzle, each containing the same amount of additive. The apparatus includes means for selectively controlling the introduction of water mixed with additive into the mixing chamber through rotation of the foraminous nozzle between normal and additive-blocking positions.
