I have seen people try to determine what tee you play by age, handicap, etc. IMO, The only answer here is that you should play from a tee box where you have fun. Hitting driver, fairway metal and wedge into every par 4 is likely not fun.
The one thing many do not know is when groups
compete from different tees, you simply adjust for course rating. (see link below). This allow people to play where they like and compete fairly.
Even the folks that run men's day do not understand this. My friend plays from the whites when we are together and loves it. His handicap dropped below some line determined by the committee and they made him play the blues. He hates it. That committee like many others either does not know the rules, or do not wish to follow them. He should be allowed to still play the whites where he enjoys, but competitors playing the blues would get extra shots. I cannot explain it as well as snoopy, so read this...
