So as not to get too embroiled in the 3 minute search thread, l thought I'd ask separately...
I used to have a timer - a golf-specific timer - for timing a 5 minute search. (Yes, I fall into that category, but l am contractually obliged to say that other methods of measuring, estimating, or even guessing the passage of time are available). Nonetheless, l had one and it was useful. To me.
Twas a simple thing - basically a small digital clock which I hung on my bag. One press of a button started a 5 minute countdown. It beeped after 4 mins and again at 5. It then reverted to being a clock until next time. Image below (if l've managed to post the image properly). I broke it and obviously, as the rule was going to change to 3 mins, l didn't set about replacing it straight away.
I've looked but can't seem find anything similar which does three minutes - anyone know if such a golf-specific item still exists (and where)? Effectively, so far l've only found kitchen timers, or stop watches, which won't really do - although they would indeed do the job. Bizarrely, the 5 minute version seems to be still available.
