Answer 2

For flag position on the green:

Blue = back pin

White = middle

Red = front



For Yardage to the green you have to ask at the clubhouse as each course is different. Usually the sprinkler heads are marked or there is a prominant marker that shows 200, 150 and 100 yards. Some nicer cources have GPS on the cart and it will tell you exact yardage from where you sit.

Answer 3

you gotta get out to the range and see what club it takes you to hit, say the 100 yard marker. if you can hit your 9 iron 100 yards, then you'll hit your 8 110, maybe 115. add one club for every 10-15 yards
