Golfers. A question about where you play from

I play from 10yds back from the tips. Because I'm that OT good!

I usually play from where the group plays. Usually blue

No one over a 10 hdcp should play the back tees. I'm scratch but haven't played competitively for a while. Most of my friends are 12-20 handicaps so I usually just play the second set of tees with them.

I shoot high 70's from the 1-ups


I can't really break 80 from the tips so I stick with the 1-ups

I usually play one up

Men

<8 tips
8-18 blue
19+(or don't know what these numbers are) white
Senior high HCP red

Swallow your damn pride. Also you can't shoot 90 from tips then tell people "you would shoot low 80s" if you played blue

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.

A question about from where you play.



You fricking idiot.


Edit because I said "lay" instead of "play". You fricking idiot.

I have broken 80 from the tips, and shoot low 80's on the reg.
my distance off the tee is unreal. If I play one up, I'm clubbing down all day.
F that.
