I completely agree with your sentiments here. 100%
HOWEVER, the thing to remember, as you probably well already know, sometimes the ones installing teepads may be folks who do not play & couldn't give a fat rats hiney about teepads meeting the needs of those playing.
It would be nice to have standardization of baskets, teepads, etc, but it feels we are still a few years away from that. But at the rate of growth we are experiencing right now, though, it may not be that long.
Double edged sword that it is, DG's rate of growth may simply make it that much harder to bring the majority of courses in line with any PDGA legislation for standardizing tees.
And while baskets may not be standardized, there are PDGA approved baskets. Anybody who would install non-pdga approved baskets on a course, is basically looking to limit the number of rounds that get played on that course, whether they realize it or not.
