Interesting ............... the "65 and above" comment vs. driving distance (no matter what age).
I believe it's driving distance, not age, determining back two tees.
Age & driving distance are fairly well connected. I don't kow any 65+ year olds, who can hit it farther than they did at 50.

The best distance recommendation I've seen, is multiply your 5 Iron (carry) distance by 36. That puts me right around 6000 yards. I now play the Blue Tees everywhere (TDS is about 6200 from the Blues).
