  9. Integrity and Profit-Generating Capability • The course should be built for all golfers. Variations in handicap can be accommodated by placing multiple tees at different distances from the hole. • Tee placement also depends on the amount of play. The more the course is played, the larger the tees.

  11. Tennis Courts • Site Selection • Climate • An acre of land can, theoretically, accommodate six single courts, each 60 by 120 feet. In reality, this crowded configuration would make for a very unpleasant experience. • A dark background behind the players helps them see the ball.

  12. Tennis Courts • Private outdoor tennis club can handle between 30 and 60 players per court. Capacity can be increased by one-third by adding lights. A reservation system helps push capacity closer to the upper figure of 60 players per court. • Tennis courts tend to be developed in clusters. Maximum efficiency when courts are developed in clusters of eight or ten. • Objective in orienting the course is to avoid players having the sun in their eyes.
