Stupid Golf Question

What do tee box colors mean?

Your group asks which tees and you suddenly become a cart-path philosopher

Plain answer first

The plain answer

Tee box colors separate different starting distances. The farther back the tee, the longer and harder the hole usually plays.

They are difficulty settings for the course. You do not get extra points for choosing nightmare mode.

It matters before the round starts, because the tees you choose affect pace, stress, and whether the day feels playable.

Choose tees based on how far you actually hit the ball and what keeps the round moving.
