Reply to "Cal Course Identified on Certificate"

Good point, Duane. Any of these would be a help.

Finding one particular cal course in southern Maryland a couple of years drove me nuts. When I got to what appeared to be the right place on the map, I found no paint marks or nails. The descriptions of the end points left me wondering if I was on the wrong stretch of the particular road in question, which was more than a mile long. After searching this road for half an hour, I found what I believed to be the remnants of a nail for one end point, but nothing else. I decided that this particular cal course was therefore unusable, though still current in our database.

The time I spent attempting to verify the location could have been saved with a simple address, cross street, or GPS coordinates. Same for anyone else who finds this cal course in our listings and then has the same experience I did.

It is also handy when driving to a cal course you have never used before to have an address of some type to put in your navigation system. I have not had great difficulty locating cal courses after a search, but why search when all we need is an address, cross street, or GPS coordinates?

Therefore: I recommend to the RRTC PTB that we require at least 2 of these kinds of location identifiers on all cal course maps.
