Remember, they're the forward tees, not the ladies tees. Men can (and should) use them too.

Courses should have starters that ask players what their handicap is and instruct them to play off a certain tee. Educating golfers not to get married to their golf balls when they lose it off the tee would help also. Too much time is waisted looking for a lost ball.
