ABSTRACT:
A visual distance marker for a golf course fairway which provides viewable indicia of distance along the fairway. The marker member has a generally uniform x- or cross-shaped cross section which facilitates being viewable from any direction on the fairway. The device includes an elongated resilient, preferably molded polyurethane marker member having its lower end slidably positioned and secured inside a tubular anchor member. When the anchor member is implanted or buried in the ground, the marker member is supported in an upright orientation extending above the ground, being supported within the tubular anchor member. The marker member is sufficiently resilient in all directions so as to be deflected and bent over against the ground as a reel-type lawn mower approaches and passes there over, thus eliminating the need for removing and replacing the entire device or just the marker member during normal mowing operations.
