Reply to "Course Revisions-is Re measurement Necessary"

I'd amend SOSS to be "Sum Of Shortest Segments".

If I perform two measurements of the entire course, from one end to the other, I naturally use the shorter one as your course length.

When I measure the course in a number of segments, I match up all of the long measurements of each segment and add them, and all of the short measurements of the same segments, and add them. The sum of the shortest segments is the course length.

I wouldn't do this with every intermediate split; you could drive yourself crazy over a long course. But when measuring in distinct segments, it's one more level of insurance against compensating errors generating a short course.
