I've been playing and then moderating using "Start press" as the timer beginning point, and that seems like its been the case from the beginning. But the rules actual say "take control" which isn't clear between take control by that "start" press or take control of the actual golfer on hole 1 (about 2.5 seconds later).

Should we change the rules to say explicitly "press start"?

I'd vote for start press, as that seems it would cause the least amount of work to retime runs.

Yeah I've been using start press the last few weeks since I asked. Very obvious first frame. It's also how we don't have to go back and re-time everyone else if we chose differently.

Will clarify in the rules sometime soon.

I've updated the rules to reflect start press as timing start. It is much easier for timing and also consistent, I believe that's how all the runs are already timed.
