finally ! a question of relevance

I was told by starter shack friends and golf course maintenance several years ago that on executive courses the holes are placed on the green “daily” and then “sited” back to tee off area and the appropriate black, gold or green balls were placed for the yardage listed. Not so sure this is the case any longer ESPECIALLY when the mowing crews are doing that on days of play WHILE players are on the course. For my game a yard here or there doesn’t matter, LPGA isn’t looking for me to play.

This type of question is best responded to by taking Golf and Rules classes. NOT Here say.

When a course is laid out by the golf course builders, the markers at EACH tee box is always marked to the Center of the Green. Where the flag is placed daily is a plus or minus from that center point on the green. Have golfed at hundreds of courses in North America and never found any exceptions. Laser, Maps or instrument used while golfing is to assist you from where you are standing but the marker block in the ground is ALWAYS to the Center of Green in spite of what else is moved.

Good luck hitting that spot........:bigbow:

From the center of the tee box to the center of the green.

Center. Color of flag will let you know if the pictures is front back or center.

NO.... From the block marker in the ground that Never moves to the Center of the green.

Tee boxes come in many shops and sizes which is why the block is set at build time and they laser to the center of the green from the block.

They do not use the colored flag systems in The Villages. On Exec courses they use small flag on pole itself and and move it up/down/center when they set the new holes for the day.


Championship Courses have designated general area for the day based 1, or 2 ,or 3 on the scorecard provided at check in shack.

I like to chuckle when two different players, each using their own range finders from the same tee box, want to argue over a few yards of distance. As if they were good enough that it makes a difference. lol

Amen brother!!!!!:bigbow:

No colored flags in The Villages! If that has started please advise where..Which Course(s)
