I think having the starter recommend a set of tees "as a courtesy" is a great idea. Mandating it, not so much. And as far as the series of tests in order to play, no thanks.

Golf is a serious hobby to us, to most golfers it is an escape from work and the kids. Having to take a test before playing is the best way to push people away.

I like to mix it up and play from different tees, I don't play the tips unless its a fairly short course, most courses down here at in the 6800-7200 range from the tips, and I just don't have the game for that. But I mix it up between the forward tees and middle tees most of the time. Playing from the foward tees allows me to work on my 9 iron and won a good bit, and gives me the opportunity to go for Par 5's in 2. With the middle tees its mostly 6-8 irons and chipping. Its good to mix it up and work on both.

6300-6400 is my ideal range, it seems alot of courses around are either 6000 or 6500.
