This bug any one else? I was playing a new course for the first time yesterday and some of the yardage markers were WAY off. One of the par 3s was in the 170 range and the blue and white tees were supposed to be 10 yards apart. I counted two paces instead. So is it too far forward or backward? 8 yards could be the difference between going up or down a club... especially on a par 3 170 yard shot which is surrounded by bunkers on the front and sides with a steep drop off behind. The last par 3 had a similar issue but it was closer to 15-20 yards as again the white and blues were right on top of each other.
Sometimes I go by the yardage marker and hit a perfect club that should be accurate. One of those shots you know you got it perfect the second you make contact. Then it either flies the green or comes up way short. Boggles my mind how they can't put their tee box markers in the right spot to correspond with the yardage distances.
And how much can I trust the 100/150/200 mid-fairway markers. It is often hard to read them because they don't look parallel on the side of the fairway. Especially when they are placed in relation to a dog leg. This game is hard enough without its best hint, yardages, not being accurate within 3 yards.
