Interesting, given that the typical colored flags I've seen are red/front, white/middle and blue/back.
Orrrr, you can buy accurate range finders for less than $100 these days...which takes ALL of the guesswork out.
IMHO, range finders are better than the standard GPS (wrist/other) because besides giving exact distance to the flag, you can shoot to things like bunkers to determine the carry you need, or maybe even more importantly, the distance you should lay up short...to keep your ball from going in the bunker.
It seems that at least a few times every round, someone in my group hits it too far and into a greenside bunker...when they were simply trying to lay up short of it.
