Our tees are all yellow, no whites. It's to maintain pace of play, get more people round, less lost balls, etc. Some are on the front of the back tees, some defo yellow.
It is what it is. No point complaining, it's golf get on with it. Happy to be out, happy with whatever the committee and management have decided.

Found this card on here. It is a good test off the white and some interesting white tees that really bring the water into play. However off the yellows especially when it is dry and running I do find it a little short https://offcourse.co/courses/scorecard/pyrford-golf-club
As it goes I know PS well and he'll have to have worked hard to simply not take the crap out of him there and then and does have a good line in put downs and this guy does seem to be a pain but perhaps he does also have a point. We're allowed to play off the whites at any time and our rough is also up if you miss the lush semi but I was around in an hour and a quarter on the longer and harder back nine and first game back yesterday an and just over an hour for the front nine today including looking for a lost ball and my partner hitting a few practice putts on several greens after three putting so it hasn't impacted pace of play. Perhaps a chance to give the members the choice?

Definitely irritating to see all the moaning posts about times, tees, courses, etc coming thick and fast just days after some of us have been permitted to play golf
It comes across as very poor

Definitely agree, a lot of people have lost lives, relatives, jobs, etc and people on here are moaning about a few lost yards or tee times!
Get a grip on reality, for God’s sake!

I agree. My course still hasn't opened yet. I'd happily play off the reds if that was allowed let alone yellows or whites, couldn't care less.

It doesn’t seem to be that bad on here ?
People will always have the odd moan and suggestions about possible alternatives
It’s just appears to be natural that human behaviour includes having a good old moan especially when people still feel restricted

I get that. That's why its just a random irritation for me (& others) who probably like me, can't get back out to play yet. I'd love the opportunity to get back out let alone moan that the tee's are a bit forward today or we could shave a minute off the spacing etc
Its a bit like @Lord Tyrion popping on to tell us he's munching into one of his packets of mince pies he's hoarded since Christmas and having a wee moan that the filling is a bit lite, when the rest of us are pieless
(sorry LT best example I could think of
)

. If it makes you feel any better I am down to my last 2 
. Very soon, I will also be pieless and we will all be in it together

Itching to buy a new club when I barely even got to use the last one I bought. I got the GAPR Hi like a month before lockdown, so I only got to use it a few times, but I really want to get a Cobra F8 five wood to compare it to as I've heard great things... What is it about lockdown boredom and frivolous purchases?
Is that a local rule that bunkers are out of play during this. We've decided as a club that if both players think its a in an unraked footprint it can be moved out.

Stuplidly tryng out new shoes without having worn them in walking round the garden, played 3 holes and had to hobble in Ecco shoes at that, seemed really comfortable at first.

Not good. I thought Ecco were like FJ and good from the box. All of my FJ's and there have been a few have worked well from first round. Have you tried putting some shoe horns in just to give them a little stretch?Stuplidly tryng out new shoes without having worn them in walking round the garden, played 3 holes and had to hobble in

Try a pair of Adidas with Boost technology, they're awesome.

Thanks Homer, I might try that, also a thicker pair of socks, I had the thinnest of summer pairs on today.

I had some Adidas once but found that they were a tiny little bit on the small side and the next size up were too big. Maybe I just have odd sized feet, the outgoing pair are sketchers which are OK now but took a little time to bed in too.
Having to leave temptingly shiny golf balls in the rough today as it is not the right thing at the moment to pick them up. So painful ?
What's the risk picking them up with a gloved hand, putting it in a spare pocket in the bag and if it's that big a problem wash it and your hands after. A decent ball is a decent ball and personally I see the risk as minimal but I accept that's just my take
If virus is on the ball then it will last on my glove, same as my bare hand. Potentially the same risk as touching a flag etc.
Nowhere to wash hands out on the course.
I believe leaving found balls is recommended at the moment, isn't it?

Homer the NHS worker, perfectly happy to risk disease and potential death for one free golf ball.
