We have installed alternate pin collars at our course and are now looking at designs for new signs. We have a few holes where the alt. pin position changes the par of the hole from 3 to 4 and we are wondering how others have denoted this on the sign. One idea is to note the par next to the individual length measurements on the sign. Another is to eliminate the par designation completely from all the signs and only note the par on the scorecard. Has this been done somewhere?
Another point discussed is how to label the pin positions. Most of the new collar positions are longer than the originally installed positions, but a few are shorter. My thought is to mark all the original positions as "A" and all the new ones as "B", regardless of length. This is so when the course is set in the "A" pin positions it will be the original course design configuration. Another thought is to mark all the shortest ones as "A" and the longer ones as "B", which is more traditional. But doing it that way results in the original course configuration having some pins in the "A" position and some in the "B" position. In the long run, does it really matter? Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation?
