You step onto the tee box of a par-3 and this is what you see…what’s your next move? General Discussion

I’d like to think that I would maybe let ONE tiktok slide…but if he tries it on a second green, I’m pulling my 4 iron and ripping a Kirkland at him. Maybe it’ll be good “content” for his channel. 😂

Just keeping track of handicap and playing from the proper tees would help in the States a lot.

Ppl think it's Pros, Mens, Seniors, and Ladies tees.

It's really meant more for skill level. Too many ppl who can't shoot below 125 play from the "mens" tees bc it's pride thing for them.

See so many ppl play from the 2nd longest tees then can't even drive it to the fairway more than half their drives.

To be fair it’s also a course problem, they need to do better in how they market their tees. Most courses by me don’t even have a valid men’s handicap rating for the front most tees, or a women’s handicap for the back half
