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

Playing high school golf in the mid 80's, the muni course we played at only had 150 yard bushes. Well, I got to thinking that some of the yardages just weren't accurate. So over the course of a couple of rounds, I created a yardage book by simply stepping off yardages from the 150 bushes and other landmarks. Many bushes weren't even close, the majority of them being closer than 150. One hole in particular was downhill from the fairway to the green and the 150 bush was only 131 from the center of the green! If memory serves, it was a smallish green and something like 118 front.

This saved me countless strokes and caused me continuous amusement when opponents missed greens with good shots due to inaccurate yardages.
