distance markers, what's best?
Kyle Harris:
Rick,
How about both?
"256 to the middle, so fuggetaboutit"
Mike Erdmann:
Elkhorn Valley up in the middle of nowhere in the Casacde Mountains of Oregon has bird houses for 150 yard markers. Story is that when the course was built, the owner didn't want yardage markers. Well, I guess years of listening to the bitching and moaning of players finally got to him and so he relented, but holding fast to his belief that yardage markers are "for the birds"....he put up birdhouses.
Don Dinkmeyer:
Tree markers at 150 are okay but seem harder to gauge when more than 25 yd either direction.
The "visible" post at 100-150-200 would be "ideal", but i've never seen this.
Assuming you buy the premise that knowing the distance is acceptable. I do.
W.H. Cosgrove:
Mike those bird houses at elkhorn weren't what got him buried behind the second green were they?
Brad Klein:
Redanman, why am I not surprised?
