implementation. Entrants will construct their own designs.
Building Specifications
Each hole is expected to withstand direct exposure to the elements and an enthusiastic, club-wielding public of all ages. Any materials, structures, or
components deemed hazardous or too fragile will be rejected. Electricity will not be available. More details are included in the Guidelines &
