Re: **Ask a golf course employee**
Regarding the 150 marker thing, they were popular when I picked up the game growing up. You whippersnappers don't know how good you have it - first they came along with plates in the fairway at 100, 150, 200, etc. then around that time they started marking sprinklers. I remember when one course started doing front-middle-back distance on their markers, it was like heaven.
Anyway, off the top of my head the 150 markers that flanked the fairways back in the day that I have seen included oleanders, large rocks, evergreens, mini-palm trees, PVC pipes, various flower gardens, and so on. That's all we had to go on. And it sucked to get stuck behind one of them.
