| Question: | "Our head golf professional and superintendent must work together to mark our golf course properly. They disagree about whether our water hazards should be defined with stakes or painted lines on the ground. Any suggestions would be appreciated." |

| Source of Question: | Maryland |

| Answer/Response: | "They are both correct. Stakes and/or lines can be used to define the margins of water hazards. The benefit of a painted line is that it can more accurately define the actual margin of the water hazard. Stakes provide better visibility for golfers at a distance. Once lines are initially established, they can be repainted periodically to maintain visibility. Because of their irregular shapes, it is nearly impossible to install enough stakes to completely define the margins of water hazards. Stakes and lines together provide the best scenario for defining your water hazards. Where both stakes and lines are used, the stakes identify the hazard and the lines define the margin of the water hazard. Remember, both the stakes and the lines defining the margins of water hazards are considered to be in the hazards." |
