Thanks to all you guys for figuring this out. Took a bit of trial and error yesterday, but I was able to get 16 of 18 holes as planned on the Tour version of my RDC course.
Probably would have been quicker had I not spent WAY too much time trying to get the tee markers to line up perfectly at holes where multiple tees share the same location. Tip for anyone doing this: Set up your markers exactly how you want them with the waypoint at the normal location, move the waypoint to the spot that will give you the correct tee 'order', then move just ONE set of tees - ideally one that doesn't need to be exactly lined up with another marker. This will reset all the colors. When you move the marker back to it's normal location, you'll have perfectly aligned tee markers like this:
But the results have been awesome in terms of how I want the Tour version of this course to play. While the standard tees play between 6500-7600 yards, the Tour version plays between 7070-7225 yards:
But man, it would be so much easier if there were a simple option to 'Use Manual Tee Locations'. Coding would be super simple as well.
Another quick tip - if designers are doing a tournament course where it's one tee set but you'd like to have a couple of different positions on individual holes, you can do this without having to stick all the tee sets lined up tight together like in the photo above.
Start by laying out one tee set only (in this example let's use black) and then only add tees on the holes where you want to move the tee up, so let's say we add two forward tees on a couple of par 4s (tee set red) and then another set for shorter par 3's (tee set blue). Instead of adding red, blue and black for every hole, just add them on the holes you are tweaking yardages, and on all the holes you aren't touching the scorecard will revert to the original tee set (black).
Also means you don't need to mess around with waypoints, you just need to let tournament organizers know which tee set is which. Easy!
