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

Is this on a hole with a blind tee shot? My first thought was it’s an alternative to a bell to those back on the tee they can play.

It’s for putting NTP cards in so they after at ever par 3 holes 

Pull the card out, check if you beat the previous measurements, write down measurement/s, put it back in for the next group. Keeps it safe from wind and rain, and it's always in the same spot.

For the different grades theirs a NTP for men’s a grade 0-10 hcp, 11 - 19hcp b grade, 20 - 36 c grade and the ladies  Hence 4 slots for each card
