It's not the color, someone said if you hit one it's a DNF. That's the concern.

Untrue.

We may do special events during which certain cones hit do result in dnf, but that's rare, and never at an Open or Classic. Down or out - 2 sec penalty, etc., etc.

As one who has, on occasion, said things that perhaps shouldn't be believed... you should know better than to believe everything you hear. :lol:

Whoops, my bad. While I'm glad those aren't DNF cones I still think they will get obliterated once or twice. I am often wrong though.

If you're hitting the row of cones that is 35-40 feet beyond your apex... you might need to adjust your talent. :dunno:
