Playing as a single. Got matched up with some folks I obviously didn't know. "What's the sprinkler say?" is what I asked. "Dreamer" is what I answered.

In Fla, I believe at a Disney course, 30 yards in the scrub trees left, brass marker said "what are you doing here"

I was caddying for a young player on the Nike Tour back in 1988 at the Moors course near Pensacola, FL. The 11th hole is a par five which was unreachable from my player’s tee shot. He was apparently wanting to lay up to his favorite wedge distance. He spotted a sprinkler nearby and asked me, “What does it say.” I went over to look at it, and it said, “Just Hit It.” I told him, “just Hit It.“ You can’t imagine the look I got from him! I recalled this story later to Frank Thomas who had written a book, “Just Hit It.”

Courses should put on “move up a set of tees” here and there as a reminder to play your correct yardage.

How about "Not a chance"

At Green Hills Golf Course in Piniconning , Michigan, they used to have a sprinkler head at about 280 yards from the green on a long par 5 hole that said “You can’t get there from here”.

I for one would like to see more golf courses go to the yardage on sprinkler heads to front, center, and back of green I think that would really speed the game up, sure many courses have GPS systems and many don't I am a firm believer of that of having a four hour round

At Badin Inn Golf Club (Badin, NC), which unfortunately closed in 2018, the longest par-5 had a sprinkler head about 275 yds away (uphill to an elevated green) that read "All you got."

Shark River GC in Neptune, NJ
Has a sprinkler head marked:
NO WAY on thrir 18th hole.
Lonf, difficult par 5. Sprinkler is approximately 275 from center of green. I'm a decent golfer and the shortest club I've had in for my 3rd shot is full 9...

Sorry I don’t remember the course, somewhere in the mid-west, but the sprinkler head said “It’s farther than you think!” Laughed for the rest of the hole.
