I often read threads where the tee sets are mentioned, but without knowing the order of the tees, or how many there are. Could someone fill in with the sets of tees from various countries?

In Norway, we got these, from shortest to longest:

Red: Ladies tee
Blue: Ladies back-tee
Yellow: Mens tee
White: Mens back-tee
Black: Mens back-tee

Most courses only got red, yellow and white, where white is used as championship tees. Men usually play from yellow, but I suppose the lower handicaps also play from whites.

I don't think there is a set standard anywhere. It is mostly up to the individual course.

Around me, the majority is like this.

ladies - red
senior/ladies back - yellow/gold
mens front - white
mens back - blue
mens championship - black (sometimes gold if not already in use)

Although some courses use completley different markers. I play one that uses jade/copper/silver/gold/black. And have seen a few other 'different' combinations.

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

The "Tips" or pro tees are gold or black depending on the course.

That might be "normal" but it's no where near standard. I've played courses with the gold being back, with green being back, with red being back, with blue being back. You get the point.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Very True...when it comes to this topic there is no standard.

Quite frankly, color means nothing. I've played courses where the tips are gold, where the tips are blue, where the tips are black, where the tips are purple. One course I've played the last 2 summers has them labeled from short to long: Brick, Limestone, Copper, Gold and Slag. Another course I play calls the back tees the "Rock" tees.

It's better to use descriptive terminology when discussing them: Front, mid front, middle, mid back, and back. It eliminates a lot of confusion.

Out where I am (socal) most courses go something along these lines:

Red = Ladies White = Mens Blue = Championship (or whatever the course is calling them) However, it is common to have more than just these three. Often times there is another set between the ladies and regular men's and usually I see those as green or gold. Also sometimes there are further tees being black, gold, or silver. It really just varies from course to course. The only thing that seems to stay fairly constant is that red is ladies and white is the mens.

Agreed.

Here in Japan it seems to be in line (mostly) with what US courses are using: front-to-back: red (ladies) gold (seniors) white (men) blue (men back tee / championship) black (when you feel like killing yourself, as it is usually just besides a large tree that doesn't let you aim freely)

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
