Are these sentences natural? May 8

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. Are we playing (the) 18 holes tomorrow? ( is the article required?)

2. At how many places is the sign changed in this process?

3. At how many points during the journey does this amount get converted?

Thanks,
MG

1. Are we playing 18 holes tomorrow? ( is the article required?- It is inappropriate.)
2. At how many points (?) is the sign changed in this process?-- The grammar is OK, but the meaning escapes me.
3. At how many points during the journey does this amount get converted?-- The grammar is OK, but the meaning escapes me.

Ah, I see. Well, just change 'journey' to 'process', then, in #3 and keep 'points' for #2. 'Journey' normally refers to a person's trip.
