67 85 103. Numbers by Greens.
 
I take it these are the yards to the holes. Why three alternatives?

It sounds like you are referring to yardages from three different tees on one hole, to the center of the green.

Why three though? I know womens' and mens' golf playing is different from the golf tournaments I have seen on TV even if some of the ladies can hit as far as some of the men. Stats | LPGA | Ladies Professional Golf Association

If you are a skier I can explain it in skier terms. What level is comfortable for you, beginner, novice, intermediate or expert ?

Not a skier but did work at Sky Tavern Junior Ski Program between Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nevada. I do remember the different trails around there for skiers.

FunTrivia has something similar in difficulty of trivia games.

That seems to be a good comparison. Tal, if you'll notice, the country clubs have five sets of tees. If you stand on the forward tee and look back at the back tee box, the level of expertise necessary to play from there becomes quite evident. The executive courses have three tee boxes and sometimes they are not very far apart. It's usually a matter of not having enough room for tee boxes placed way back. And the higher number of not so accomplished golfers that play them.

Good Golf school here in the Villages would be of great info for you........

Let's golf.
I have right handed and left handed clubs, balls and tees so you don't need anything to try it out.

When do you want to play? I don't have a cart so we are walking unless you have a cart.

That would take super human patience and I am not sure the players around here would refrain from making many remarks. I have not picked up a golf club since maybe 16 or so. Most of my golfing was 12 or under doing putt-putt.

I introduced golf to hundreds of high school students and teachers over 30 years.

Not sure what you are looking at. Distance to front of green, center of green, and back of green are shown on may GPS units.
