The question was, given that there is a 16 tree minimum per hole by rule 4.3.4C, which measurement system should be used for making the British Open a conforming event?

I submit the following for your dendrochronological review: http://www.treeregister.org/measuringtrees.shtml

Of particular interest, please reference subsection 'Tree Measuring Growth Categories'

I'd request that a few be removed. Too many trees will attract trolls.
