Re: \"Weekend\" tees?
In general course set up calls for six tees to be in front of the plate, six tees at the plate and six tees behind the plate. You also have six pins in front, six in the middle and six in the back of the green. This allows you to play the yardage that shows on the card for the entire course but not necessarily for each hole. Some courses actually move the tees and pins in tandem so that you play about the stated length for each hole.
The deception comes in at resort courses that seemingly always set the course shorter that the markers for speed of play. These are usually the courses which put a suggested handicap for each tee on the scorecard. Their interest is speed of play and getting the most rounds possible per day, my interest is playing the course that is rated. If they cheat too much just go to the plates.
