Question about yardage

[Haze]

I am relatively new to the game and had a question. I went out to a 9 hole course today to play and noticed that there was some sort of marker close to the hole. It was green with a white top. It appeared that it was maybe 100-150 yards from the pin. Is this something they have at all courses? Also what is the yardage of it or does it vary from course to course?

[Jarno]

Most courses will have some sort of stake in the fairway or on the sides of the fairways that marks 150yrds or so. Also they may have placks in the fairways, and/or on the cartpath.

At our course, we changed our sprinkler heads with yardages for front/middle/back of the greens.

Hope this helps!

Generally you will find 150 and 100 yard markers on any course. Can't tell you what you saw, but keep that in mind.

Most courses list this kind of information on the scorecard somewhere,

Right. One course I know of has an easily distinguishable kind of small bush at 200, 150, and 100 yards. It says so on the card. (And, I suppose, if you can't tell the difference between 200 and 150 or 150 and 100 yards, it probably doesn't matter what club you hit anyway...).
