Unfortunately, I don't have a rule book handy right now, but I seem to
recall a paragraph in there which says this isn't so. Either way, IMO, this
is the fastest way to discourage new drivers -- it's hard to convince
someone to return when their results read "Off Course, Off Course, Off
Course."

Quite true -- but there's a world of difference between negotiating a course
quickly and negotiating it at all! The fast line doesn't have to be (and
probably shouldn't be) obvious, but the general path of the course better
be -- otherwise, the course workers are afraid to get too far away from the
light poles....
