Let's start with Paragraph 1 after the 9/5 update:

Peter had recommended that we not allow follow through after passing a mark in the fairway that is 40 m from the basket. I would change this to 30 m, since that is very close to 100 feet (97.5 ft), a) so a relatively easy distance to learn to estimate for casual play. I feel this is plenty of distance to discourage jump putts. b) And it would be quicker for TD's to measure.
a) 30m is not a relatively easy distance to measure while traversing through forests, elevations, creeks, trees, bushes. 30m is not a relatively easy distance to measure even on a flat open surface of grass. What is easier to measure than 30m, is 10m.

b) How would it be quicker for TD's to measure 30m over 10m???
