Your favourite colour flag....

[palindromicbob]

Red and yellow at my home course. Works grand. Used to have little balls indicating position but these no longer fit on the new pins. #

Love courses with colour changing to indicate position as it's useful but only when combined with a GPS or a good course planner. Not much use if you have markers indicating distance to front or centre but no idea of the size of the green.

Hate dark blue flags. Have trouble seeing them and find they are difficult to lock on to with laser range finder at distance.

As I'm red/green colourblind, if it's a red flag against a bush/tree background, I really struggle to pick it up!!

I definitely prefer white and yellow, with a mini flag to designate position, !

That will do nicely on all counts Sir saves me typing all that , thank you :thup:

Red - Front
Yellow - Middle
White - Back

Some greens can be creative in terms of flag colour and placement

Another with sighting issues, really struggle with the red flags at my place some days, traffic flags are great for me although I like the idea of a chequered flag on the last ala West Midlands Golf Club

Thanks to region3 would educated me as to the colour system at my own course a few years ago! I had never really noticed as most courses I'd ever played before were red/yellow for front nine or back nine. Felt a little stupid then realised it all made sense!

I thought everybody used red/yellow/white. When we have posh visitors the par 3 flag poles are changed to long poles, which have a method of measuring on them.

Red/Yellow/White for front middle and back for me, at ours we hate to see too many red flags!

I believe this is the best way for flags

Check ones are hard to see I think

Voted Other I like to see the club or competition logo/crest/motif on the flags

We generally use the red/yellow/white approach, but for big events they get out white flags with the club crest and they look great.

That's a nice touch.

Due to have 3 different 9 hole loops we cannot operate the trafic light system, people struggle enough using common sense to denote which tees there are playing so we have a blue red and yellow course which has appropriate coloured pins.

We are aiming for mini flags to denote pin positions

What I like is white with the club crest. Gives a bit of class. But we only use them for major comps. Otherwise three colours for F/M/B.

We do the same. First time I played to the all white flags it took me about 10 holes to realise they were not all back flag positions.
