Lines? You're either trolling, or been watching too many sci-fi
flicks. And, I've got a laser level that works fine, and ran me less
than $10 - but maybe it was so cheap because it didn't do lines either.

You want a line, get a piece of clear plastic tubing. Put some
water in it. Then raise the far end of the tube, until you get water up
to your reference point. Then the othen water level will be exactly the
same level. Run a string between the two and you've got your "line".
Or, possibly you can "shoot" your laser, then toss some flour in the
air, and get your "line" that way, but I don't know what good that would
be.


Actually JT, a lot of laser levels will shoot a line along a surface.
Mine
does. I think though that the OP wants the line to appear on the grass,
so
the water level solution won't work for him. Still not sure why a simple
piece of string won't work for him.

From the original post it would appear that he doesn't want to distrub other
golfers on the green, heh
