I can't tell if your response was sarcastic, given my "I'm good, I shoot 100+" post or if you actually believe paying attention to distances outside 300 will help you, which it obviously will.

That being said, I wasn't being completely sarcastic, as paying attention to such things certainly wouldn't HURT my game, however, I have a hard time believing that it of all things would make a huge overall difference in what I score.

Re: Funny find on the course- pic
Hey_Porter,
I wasn't trying to be a dick when I FYP. I personally would laugh my ass off if I saw this in the fairway, unless it was a tournament. Otherwise, even if I'm playing a really good casual round, I'll just walk off the yardage. If I'm out shooting average/crappy round, I could care less about the exact yardage to the 100 yard marker. The only point some of us were trying to make, is that under certain situations (and this will vary depending on the golfer), this could be annoying to see.
