Hi. I'm nearing the final stages of design on these tee signs and would like to get a final rating and ideas. Please dont be blunt, and tell it like it is.

Here is some need to know info:
�The course is mainly open.
�Pins are almost always visible, and there for flight paths are not going to be show unless it is a blind hole or a dog leg.
�The white circles are where bolts and washers will be, so the area will be covered up.
�The Alternate Pin locations are colored for quick referencing.
�All tee signs will be covered by Lexan with a UV protective coating, so color fading is not a concern.
�These signs will cost $2.09 per sign, so adjustment of new pins, additional trees, O.B.s, or other objects can be easily added. This will also allow for tournament sponsor info to be added, and gives the sponsor something to take home and display.
�These will reside in a Metal frame with the lexan over top.
�Yes. These were done in Adobe Photoshop.

Have at it, and give me some feedback!

Great signs! Here are a few comments:

- Some people are red / green color blind, not sure if the 'A' is visible on the green background.
- The island green would be a fun challenge _if_ the road crossing is safe (in terms of in-flight discs). Can you see everything on the road from the tee?

The white blur behind the "A" should make it visible. One quick check is to view the image in greyscale and make sure the shade differences are enough for the sign to be readable with no color differences.

The road is visible. The idea would be that when the green is in play, all road is still O.B., but all the grass outside the road and after the fence is O.B. as well. This creates the risk reward of going for the green or laying up to the fence for the easy approach.

had not thought of that. Quick check here.....

Yep... no problems. The blue looked the best in grayscale, then red, then orange. That does bring up the question of not using different colors for the alternate pins. We are using a bolt and washer system on our tee signs to mark the positions, so it would be possible to simply use one color. This is something to bring up to the Main Committee of my disc golf club.
