Yardage for me. And I'll also defer to the group.

Yeah, I don't really worry about slope at all unless it stands out as something crazy high or low. But at a new course, the first thing I'm doing is looking at the ratings of the different tees, and figuring course handicaps to see if anything stands out as an opportunity to gain a stroke somewhere. Where a tee in either direction gives a bigger or smaller jump in CH than another compared the yardage difference. It's the only way to gain/lose an advantage before you actually tee off.I find slope to be all over the place. 4 of my last 5 rounds have had a slope of 136/137 on all different courses. The course I found to be the hardest of the 5 had a slope of 124 and I scored the worst on it.
Once a week with men's club, that's it. Other than that it's just friendly straight stroke play with friends, nothing on the line. The only thing my handicap matters for in most of my rounds is figuring out what 'net double bogey' is for posting my scores.This thread has me wondering if some people here play with pops, or gamble, as much as I thought they did.
How far is your average drive? 28 * 250 = 7,000yds which seems long to me?Yardage. I multiply 28 times my average drive and play that yardage.

According to my app, my average drive is 262yds, so I should be playing at 7,300yds and there is no way I am playing tees that long
Screw it, just play the tips.
Might as well, same fees?
Which do you use to pick a tee box? Which do you think is most useful?
I never really get this logic of checking par3 yardages. A lot of people suggest this and live byu that notion but in my opinion and in my experiences par 3 yardages can be hugely misleading. Many shorter courses can have long par 3;s and longer ones can have shorter par 3's. I do not find the par 3's to be all that telling on a good number of courses.Generally by tee , meaning one up from the tips. If I’m not sure I’ll check yardages on the par 3’s.
Honestly, I think this is where the vast majority are.
