Constructing a Course

All YB courses start with the following steps and guidelines including:

• Mark off a 10-foot (3 meters) by 30-foot (9 meters) rectangle, placing a course marker on each corner and the center point of each side,

• Once the course area is marked, you and your fellow players can select a course from the included course designs or you can get creative and design your own course,

• Using the course designs in this manual, dig the appropriate holes in the sand, and troughs if part of the selected course, on one side of the course based on the following guidelines:

A standard hole should be 6 inches (15cm) wide and deep which is the same length as the YB shovel blade.

Note:  The exact dimensions of the holes may vary by course design. In most cases, the edge of each hole should about one YB shovel length, or about 13 inches (33cm) apart from each other.

• When the holes, and if required troughs, are completed on one side, then duplicate the layout on the other side of the course,

 Note:  The setup on either side should mirror each other as best as possible.

• Once you complete creating the course, proceed with marking each hole with the assigned value based on the course design and you are ready to go.
