As a retired Air Force officer vacationing in Florida, I was playing a round of golf at Pensacola Naval Air Station with three Naval officers. I marveled at the splendid course, which included a tall white stake place in the fairway to mark 150 yards to the green. At first I feared these markers would be distracting, but soon I found they helped me aim my shots. I mentioned to my companions that distance indicators at Air Force golf courses are flush to the ground, along the edges of the fairway. “Well,” one of my Navy friends remarked, “Sailors play their best when they can see a mast on the horizon."
