Is that correct?
Actually, the number of courses you would have to calculate and save would be exponentially greater if they are handled like we do for casual play. Often baskets are moved independently regardless of whether others are in the long or short position. We don't keep them all long or all short depending on wear, wants, trying out a new placement or other factors. The number of posible layouts for just a 4 option course (two tees, two pin placements) is more like 4 to the 18th power, but since you would have control in the consistent selection of the tee pad used, you could reduce the workload to 2 to the 18th power. That's only about 260,000 courses.
