Golf yardage

[dongo]

How is distance from tee to hole measured when the cup on the green is put in different positions each day?

[Lord Unstone]

it is measured to the front of the green, though it could be to the back. Fixed point, anyway.

[cazzz1975]

it is measured from the front centre of the green then so many paces towards the back of the green and so many paces left or right

[Dudley]

Most course cards state whether yardages are from the centre or front of the green.

Dudley - many thanks - I was wondering about the method of measuring because I know courses have a published yardage of total length, and with the changing of cup placement this must vary quite a lot. Your explanation is the best I think.
