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.

Gosh. I don't have too much trouble going straight...but my distance is GONE. I pray my seven iron will get me where my nine iron used to take me.
