Seems like TV should recommend the tees based on typical driving distance, or seven iron distance. Something that relates directly to distance.

outlaw: you and I are in general agreement. It doesn't matter what tees used for many of the guys I play with on executive courses because our scores never vary much. And it doesn't matter on championship be it white or green on championship because the critical shot (I call it the money shot) to the green that and putting and 2 putts control the scoring
Moving up on the tee is the golf associations way for speeding up golf a common complaint and one of the causes in the drop of player participation.
In my view there are many more reasons than that which create so play and anyone playing executive courses here can cite a long list of them, except those violating ready golf etiquette
