I am on the Golf Committee and have asked for consideration  to experiment on one of our 3 courses using more visible flags. This will happen after overseeding next fall.  I'd like to see elimination of the red, white, yellow flag rotation for hole locations and use just yellow flags & flagsticks a la Augusta National. However, Forrest Richardson's comment might be open for consideration since it wasn't posted until after our meeting 2 days ago. One of the problems is that "we" have used  the 3 flag system for many years and our "members"  have been used to knowing yardage using GPS and/or laser range finders.I remember a teaching pro advising  to disregard flag placements and just go for the middle because most recreational golfers aren't good enough.In any event, this might be a long process.Many of us with vision problems are not willing to spend $3-400 for a laser range finder that will show the flag location.

I'm old enough to remember some old line Philly courses that did not have those red, white and yellow or blue plates on the fairway and use shrubs/trees for yardage to the green or have caddies give yardage.
