Seems pretty clear to me. It's explained just as I previously understood it.
a picture is worth a thousand words, I will need to print this to show peoplethat touching the OB line does not mean that it is inbounds, it actually has to be touching grass that is inbounds.

This image has ALOT of resemblence to Mary's Creek @ Z-Boaz, and speaks volumes of how right I have always been.

It's easy to understand looking at the pictures with a big wide OB, but sometimes the OB is just 'estimated' between flags or it's a string/thin line. It gets a little more subjective in those instances.

i think i need to print these out and hand them to everyone i usually play with.
Once you've marked your 1 meter relief from the OB line, can your supporting point (a foot presumably) be outside of that 1 meter distance? I think the answer is yes, just making sure I have it right.
And as a practical concern, is it generally accepted to pace off the distance using your shoes? 3 shoe lengths = 1 meter?

Depends on your shoe size but for size 9, I go three shoe lengths plus 4-5 inches to get the full meter. And yes, your supporting point positions are in reference to the marker. As long as the marker is properly positioned up to one meter, that's all that matters.
Excellent, thanks for the clarification. Now I'm good to go :thmbup:

If I go OB, Danny Noonan always kicks it back in for me. Winter rules, and such.
