re: Golfers. A question about where you play from

To answer your question, it's not so much how far you hit it as what you shoot. If you hit it 280 with your driver, but still shoot 90+, then you need to be on the regular tees until you drop your scores.

Now, if you're not playing competitively, then play where you want, but please don't let your ego get in the way. If you can't handle the longer holes, then move forward. You'll have more fun.

I used to play the tips, back when I had a single digit handicap. Now, old age and lack of playing time have me shooting in the low-to-mid 80s most days, so I'm usually at the tees next up from the tips (usually blues around here).

Luckily, I still hit my driver in the 270 range, but I know the day is fast approaching when playing from the regular men's tees will be required.
