Black or gold tee markers are usually used for championship play, for example professional or strong amateur tournaments. Most municipal courses are not equipped with this set of tees as very few public courses will hold serious tournaments.
Blue tee markers denote the teeing ground used for local or club championship play in tournaments, and is the tee used by skilled male players who have a low handicap. This tee is almost always the longest yardage for each hole, unless the course has black or gold tees.
White tee markers usually denote the teeing ground used most often by men, typically those who have a middle or high handicaps. This tee is almost always the middle tee between the championship and ladies tee and is often called the "men's tee".
Red tee markers can have two meanings. If the red tees are behind the white tees, it is usually for championship play. More commonly, the red tees are located in front of the white tee markers and are often called the "women's tees". The forward tees usually offer the shortest yardage on the course.
Green tee markers often have shorter yardage than even the red tee markers, and usually indicate where juniors and beginners hit from. Sometimes they are between the white (men's) and red (women's) tee markers and are used as the "senior" tees.
Im dumb. On my goat ranch, seniors hit from the gold. I usually hit from the white and red. Tee off from the white … usually blast that sucker an impressive 25 yards, usually next to red tees. My course has a rule, if u dont hit it past the ladies tees ur next shot is with pants down. I just play the full 18 in my boxers.
Hole length will change depending on the position of the tee box. Depending on where it’s located, a hole length can vary 10-15 yards (even for just a single color) day to day
Most maintenance crews move the tee markers around on boxes daily, so they won't always be playing at the "stones" to scorecard yardage. And of course, pin placements typically change daily, which will impact the actual yardage from tee to pin.
The "tee box" (officially the "teeing ground") is not the same as the "tee markers" which are placed on "teeing grounds". So the "box" or "ground" doesn't move, rather is is the "markers" that are moved around on the box/ground or to other boxes/grounds... just a point of clarification
When a golfer says the hole is “playing” a 181 yards he’s not talking the literal distance measured but the distance of ball flight with weather conditions included like wind rain or fog. you could have a 200 yard hole “playing” 150 yard if the wind is strong.
Also elevation gains or loses.
Trump's statement "7th hole playing 181 yards" spells 17 (7+1+8+1 = 17)
curious, considering the 7th hole is 191 yards
Damn I was about to get excited. Thank you for keeping your rational skepticism in check for us.
Gee. What's in a name?🤣🤣🤣
I don't follow?
Hey, the is legit a senior golfer. Let him have his ace!
The Gold tees ARE the senior tees. Red - Ladies, White - hacks like me, Blue - Scratch players, Black - Pros

It's also possible he was playing from the Blue tees but the pin location was back.
I'd play black for fun and bogey the shit out of that hole.
See, I didn't even see that one! The comms are always very simple. Great job!!

....are you just agreeing with me?
