I have always wondered.. where are distance markers to? Most of the places I play at don't show front-center-back, just the one.

Is it from the from of the tee box to the center of green?
Is it from the marker post itself to the center or front?

I need help

99% of the time a fairway marker will be measured to the center of the green, unless otherwise noted somewhere. The tee boxes can vary. Some are measured from the back of the box. Others I have seen will have a marker somwhere where the distance was marked from. If there is confusion, asking in the pro shop before a round could help.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Good question... I always assumed all of them were measured to the center of the green. Soon, it won't matter for me. We just switched phone services, and I'll have a new Droid on Tuesday. Step two will be finding and installing a decent Golf GPS package.

That would be SkyDroid, which can be downloaded for $1.99. Good luck with the new Droid. I bailed on my iPhone contract with AT&T; a few weeks ago and got an Evo 4G with Sprint. Much happier with the phone and the service.

On each tee box it should be marked on the ground, usually it is from that point to the middle of the green, now on the east coast some places mark it for the front of the green, so your best bet is to ask the starter or use a GPS

I use greenfinder gps, it's just off the teeboxes I don't bring it with me, and the cart will normally be a good deal closer or farther

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
