What happened to the reflectors on the flagsticks?
Anyone else notice that the reflectors are no longer on the flagsticks at the Championship courses? I have always enjoyed the fact that all the Championship courses flagsticks incorporated the simple technology that made it extremely quick and simple to shoot the yardage to the stick with a laser rangefinder. The last few rounds I have played I thought my rangefinder was going bad as it is more difficult to shoot the yardage, then I noticed the problem isn’t my rangefinder, it’s that the sticks no longer have the prisms on top. Although I can still acquire the yardage, it’s more difficult and time consuming which certainly doesn’t help speed up the pace of play.
