....it's accurate. Leon and John recruited the perfect protege in helping them certify future race courses. You should have seen the gleam in Bowie's eyes as he broke out his super duper calculator to check, double-check, and then triple-check his computations!
I was out there just lending a hand (you know, toting stuff, handing him tools, carrying his bag and such), and as I was holding one end of the tape measure (a special tape measure mind you!) I was quickly chastised about how I was holding the end of the tape......"No, you cannot just put the end somewhere close to the mark!......you must have the precise mark of the tape in the EXACT center of the mark!" Geeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzz!!!!
LOL!!! Of course I am embellishing just a bit! ......but it is quite interesting to see what all is involved with geting a course certified.....and this was just a "simple" one miler.
