How to map

Draw an area area around the ground and add

Yardage/meter based tees

In a push for more gender neutral course markings,the R&A have stated the following which can be seen on courseː

Many clubs that have pursued a programme of encouraging players to play from tees appropriate to their ability have found considerable success  by avoiding having designated “men’s” and “women’s” tees. In many parts of the world, red tees are associated with ladies golf, and men can be reluctant to play from these tees. By simply changing the colour of the “forward” tees and referring to tees as, for example, “forward, middle and back”, evidence suggests that men are more likely to choose to play from the forward tees.   Alternatively, tees can be referred to by the measured course they offer, which will be an immediate assistance to those who know what length of course they enjoy the most (for example, referring to tees that give a 6,400 yard course as the “64 course”).If golfers are to be encouraged to play from the tees that suit their game, it is equally as important to provide men’s and women’s course ratings from the different sets of tees for handicapping purposes.

Use the number on the tee-box which often corresponds to a shortening of how long that course would be in yard or meters depending on which country the course is located and what is used in golf.

How not to map

Do not put the hole number in name=* in accordance on How not to map on Key:name, use a ref=* to reference hole.
