For a tournament, special care should be taken to align the tee markers properly. On a random day, I'm never surprised to find that an inexperienced member of the staff gets the markers pointed the wrong way. The members of the staff at my course are not inexperienced; they have been doing it for years. They know exactly what they are doing. The design of most teeing grounds aim you at features of the course, ponds, bunkers, big grassy mounds. When the tee boxes are aligned with the teeing ground, they point to trouble. Munis on the weekend should never have the boxes aligned anywhere but the middle of the fairway to speed up play. Most inexperienced players do not even look to see where the tee boxes are aimed; even some experienced players don't!! cksurfdude 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm not talking about just markers being skewed - more like the tee box is misaligned.

Yeah, that can definitely be annoying. On the other hand, the architect might do that in order to produce different angles when the hole is played from different distances. cksurfdude 1 Quote Irons Titleist T200, AMT Red stiff Rogue SubZero, GD YS-Six X T22 54 and 58 wedges 7-wood 5-wood B60 G5i putter Right handed Reston, Virginia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just subtle enough to not look real obvious but have those not paying attention headed into the weeds.
