I use 360 turnaround for max distance only. never on the course. I guess I would do it on a course if i was down by 2 on the final hole of a tournament....and it was a really long hole that i needed to 3 since my opponent could only get a 4 if completely lucky and would settle for the 5 to at worst get a playoff....and by getting an extra 100' would seriously aide in getting that 3. Then it might be worth the risk (assuming even if i got a 6 i wouldn't lose my 2nd place finish)...otherwise, no way on the course.
