Sometimes we seem to soend a lot of time debating the precise use of the bean bag. At times using a bean bag, to send a message to yourself, when in the heat of the moment there's some uncertainty about the importance of a particular spot, can prove helpful.

Post-it-notes don't work all that well on grass, and what may subsequently prove to be an unnecessary dropping of a bean bag, can avoid potential problems. The primary purpose of dropping a bean bag is to mark a potential enforcement spot, but there can be secondary uses that are a lot safer than risking guessing.
