Nice article Jim. But I don't think anyone will read it by linking to the Fulton Site, which can be painfully slow. So I'll help you out.

I've seen pictures of those old platform tees and have wondered whether or not using them would significantly reduce the costs of maintaining a course.

Ocean Reef GC on Marathon Key has two of these and they are quite goofy. They extend from a road in opposite directions on short par 4s. I was expecting more for a $150 green fee!

Thanks Joe.

Am I correct in saying that tees that are indistinct from the rest of the course was done at Mike Nuzzo's Wolf Point?

Anyone else doing them?
