Which statement is true about the golf course marker specifications?

• A. A four by five inch white sign attached to a dowel or other supporting device not less than twelve inches in length
• B. The marker must be red and 6x6 inches
• C. The marker must be placed on a wall near the entrance
• D. The marker must be made of wood only

Answer: (A)

Markers used on golf courses for pesticide applications are designed to be clearly visible and durable in field conditions. The true specification describes a small white sign, four by five inches in size, mounted on a dowel or other supporting device that is at least twelve inches long. This setup ensures the marker is easily seen in turf areas and remains upright and readable even in wind or uneven ground. The white color supports legibility against the green surroundings, and the minimum stake length helps the sign stay visible above grass and debris.

The other statements don’t match the standard: a red, 6-by-6 inch marker isn’t the specified size or color; placing the marker on a wall near an entrance moves it away from the treated area and defeats its purpose of indicating field-specific information; and requiring the marker to be made of wood only unnecessarily restricts materials, whereas durability in the field is the priority.
