From Mike:

Please help me settle an argument.  A couple of golf partners and I have argued which set of tees we should be playing from.  I am not the greatest player in the world (16 handicap) but can hit a long ball. This is why I choose to hit from the back or one up from the back.  My partners are not as long but believe I should play farther up based on my handicap.  I have argued the choice of tees should not be based on one's handicap but how far they hit the ball.  I have also suggested an easy way to determine what set of tees a person should play from.  If one is playing a par 4 or 5 and has no shot in hell of reaching the fairway bunker, they need to move up!!!  If they are able to blast over the bunker with ease, they should move back.  Please help us settle this argument once and for all.
