Is there a standard tee that you play from...like the tips or you always play from the whites?

Do you look at each course you play, check the rating and slope and then decide?

Is it a macho thing to say you always play from the tips? If you play from the whites and shoot even par does that make you less of a golfer?

Just curious to see what everyone does...

I check the course I am playing and that determines what tees I play. Also, sometimes who you are playing with is a factor.

I Usually play as a single and get paired with others. I will play from whatever tees they are playing from.

If I am alone, or have a choice, I will play from the whites (the forward most "men's tees").

I've decided I will do this until I shoot par from the whites, and then I'll move back.

I usually shoot from the blues unless the rest of the group wants to go from something else. I am a short enough hitter that I do not enjoy playing from the tips yet.

I started the game totally backwards playing from the blues as a beginner to feed my ego. My game dictated that I move to the whites until I improve. I started to consider the course a bit more and change it up based on slope and rating.

I play the tees that my handicap indicates that I should play. This usually, not always though, puts me at the back tees. If playing casually with other players, I'll often play the set that the other players want to play from. I'm not picky.

Depends on the course, or who I'm playing with.

If the course is 7,000 yards, I'll probably play from the 6,500, or 6,600 yard tee.

If the tips on a particular course are anywhere 6,300-6,800 yards I'll play the tips. Never anything over 6,800 though. I just don't hit the ball far enough.

I play from the tips unless I'm paired with someone that wants to play from the white. Sometimes I'll change it up a little to work on my course management, and give myself a different perspective on the course (I play my home course almost exclusively).

I usually play from the whites. The other day, I decided to play from the blues. The fairways look totally different from that perspective. What was interesting, is that I scored no different from the blues. I guess the driver is not my problem area. Also, it was really fun changing it up.

Tomorrow is my first time on the course. From what I read here, I am assuming I better play from the whites?
Are Blue tees womens tees?

My local course only has two sets of tees(I play from the back tees).

When I go to the course that's about 30 miles away I play from the Blues which are one set closer than the tips.

    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
