I can't speak for the person you asked, but the formal groups that I play with do adjust for the tees being played.

The methodology is explained in the USGA rule book and isn't all that complicated, but makes it more fair for all involved.

Although I am a single digit and play from the blues, if I were to move up to the whites I lose about 3-4 'pops' on the average (depending on course).

I keep threatening to move up to the greens, even without any strokes...but the bahstads won't let me.
