I think it must be different everywhere. We have red, yellow, white stakes to mark 100,150,200, obviously different looking than hazard and ob posts, and with numbers on. Blue stakes are indeed used for GUR most places. We just spray the area. We spray lines in between each hazard post as well. For a big tour event, the out of bounds area is sprayed and is pretty much a circle around the entire course.

Oh, speaking of those stakes, am I the only one who knows what the blue stakes are for? Red is lateral, yellow is water, and white is OB, but does anyone have a guess to what the blue are? Hint- it's an actual thing, not just TGC. Blue stakes could marking irrigation points mate, where the hoses can be used from or sprinklers turned on. GUR is marked by white paint sprayed around the area, I haven't seen it marked by blue stakes, that's new to me. tbh I've never seen it IRL, but I'm always reading up on the rules just for fun.

I've only multipinned The Club at Willow Grove, and basically I do it so that the difficulty of the pin should reflect the difficulty of the shot. So, 16 was 525 yards or so par 4, so I made those pins much further away from the edges. But on a hole where you have a pitch into the green, I tended to put those pins closer to slopes and whatnot. It's just fair and realistic. Golf course setup can make or break a course in real life for me. There's a links course in my home town that's a great layout, but the pins are always 3 from the edge and on slopes, and people have b%&ed about that course all the time. The way I do it is fair and doesn't piss people off

The way I do it is fair and doesn't piss people off That's a good point. The difficulty and fairness of each hole is composed by several factors and all of them should be combined. From the width of the fairway to the size of the greens, the position of the pins and everything else. If the shot into the green is short you can for sure use an smaller green, but in a reachable par 5 the putting surface should be large enough to be able to stop the ball on the green, even if it's not close enough

Ive seen blue stakes used to identify areas of newly planted saplings with free drops available if your swing is likely to chop one down!
