Hi Bobby,

Thanks for helping the OSM community improve golf course mapping. There's a small problem with how you mapped the first hole (and possibly others) that I wanted to let you know about so that you change how you do it in the future.

The way that it was before is super-wrong, so I'm glad you're working on improving it. The fairway had been marked in such a way that it intersected the green and partially overlapped it. What you did was made the fairway go all the way around the green and you reused the nodes of the green. The problem with what you did is that it isn't topologically correct. There are two ways to handle the green. The first is that, if you can see it in satellite imagery, leave room between the fairway and green. This is called the "fringe" and isn't always obvious from imagery. And when the fairway fully surrounds the green, it should be turned into a multipolygon. The second way is to make the fairway butt up against the green by sharing nodes between them, but exclude the area of the green instead of surrounding it.

This is a wiki page that describes how to do the above: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgolf_course

Let me know if you have any questions.
