Subject: newb question about difference in hole markers
|
I was just wondering if anybody had a link or could tell me what all
the different kers on the fairway mean. I know that red, white, and
blue are distance's to the hole. 100, 150, and 200 yards. but I have
seen a black and white stick, a black and yellow stick that are on the
fairway, not sure what these mean. So if anybody has a description of
all available kers for a hole or a link that would be great. thanks.

Check with the golf shop as there is no standard. The black and yellow
probably are additional kers on par 5s at 250 and 300 yards.

There is no standard. Ask at the Pro Shop.

Frequently the striped kers on the fairway are 150-yard kers,
but not always: one course here in the Bay Area (Metropolitan in
Oakland) uses them as aiming kers, not distance kers at all.
Useful when one can't quite see the green/flagstick.

Aiming kers? How are they supposed to be used?

Hit the ball here, the green is right on line with this point and the
teeing ground.
There are several blind or near-blind holes. And if the fog is in,
they're all blind.

There's no standard for yardage kers. If the ker is in the
middle of the fairway, it's probably a 150 yard ker. These are
USUALLY white stakes, but can differ. At my home course they have green
and white kers on each side of the fairway near the green,
indicating that you should not drive your cart through them (to keep
the carts away from the greens).
At another course I've played at, the 150 yard is white, but has
replaceable "caps" on them which indicates pin position (front, middle,
back) for the day.
IOW, the scorecard should say something about your particular course.
