It is the tilting tee box markers that get to me. If you draw a line between the two markers and then draw another one perpendicular to that one (you have drawn a "t",) the second line should point at the intended target. On the execs that I play, that line often points well left or right of the green. Additionally, you are allowed to tee off two club lengths behind the markers...useful if you are between clubs...but they often put the markers so far back that two club lengths puts you off the back of the tee box.

Also the tee markers should be placed according to the pin placement so that the yardage is consistent from day to day. In other words, a back pin equals a front tee marker. Yes, I am hard core.
