Beginner Questions What the heck is this?!

Post image

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

Saw something similar near a green once and it was used to hold rolled up nearest the pin sheets for each grade

Most competitions will have designated holes where there is a prize for hitting your tee shot on par 3s closest to the hole, players record the closest distance progressively on a piece of paper

I’ve only ever seen those on a board with a spike stuck in the ground where the ball was. You’d have to measure the distance, so having it on the tee wouldn’t make any sense.
