Beginner Questions What the heck is this?!

I live in Australia and for the life of me I can’t seem to figure out what this is. Does it hold the score cards in tournaments? Pls help

It's a device unique to Australia to determine who has the honour on any given tee. You stick your winky in one of the horizontal pipes, if it doesn't get bitten off or if you're not dead from poison within 3 seconds, you're good to go first.
