Good pic Dave,
But I can't see it catching on.
The traditional saying is 'Clear the upper deck' I believe.
not 'Mow the upper deck'

I was thinking more about adjusting for the wind when hitting a tee shot. I can imagine how fun it would be putting trying to account for the roll of the hip as well as the slant of the grass.

I know you've all heard the old classic joke. The Air Force General goes to Congress, and asks for $3 Billion dollars to build an Air Force base. After some discussion, the money is appropriated and the General goes off. Three years later, he's back asking for more money. When the committee chairman asks why, he replies, "Well, after we got finished building the Golf Course and the O-Club, we were out of money, and we decided we'd need some more to build a runway."

Oh, probably one par...off the clubhouse roof, off the tower, then nothing but cup...pending swells. I could be wrong....

Depends on if you're playing in to the wind or with it. So, is the catwalk OB?

Let's see, a Nimitz class is what, about 134 feet on the beam, say 40 yards? Wouldn't matter if the catwalk was OB or not, I'd still manage to get the ball out of play. I get my money's worth playing golf. I see the WHOLE course, not just down the middle but ALL the way to the right, ALL the way to the left, every tree, drop of water, or pile of sand. I've been known to land the ball on the green of the wrong hole.
