In an effort to reduce "clutter" around the golf course, I am eliminating a good number of hazard stakes and we are going to step up are hazard painting effort. Currently, we mark the golf course every 14 days and will bump that up to weekly, for the most part. I've always felt that painting a golf course is a fine detail that shouldn't be overlooked. If paint is on the ground all the time, it eliminates the need for hazard stakes and the need for the golfer to see stake to stake. We are keeping the start and end of the hazards marked with stakes, but a majority of those in between will disappear.
