Thank you Mamyalynne (x2) and Calibax.

3d I would welcome confirmation as tees
My thinking drives as in golf standards = flags on each hole
Could be tees although I can't see the definition
Sorry, I can see the definition but a cryptic normally gets the answer in two ways

Thank you Factor-Fiction. I am not totally convinced
a tee is what the ball is placed on at the start of a golf hole and, because the ball is raised, the golfer gets a greater distance on the drive than if the ball was simply on the ground
Thanks bibblebub- I realise what a tee is and that standard= flag, but something seems missing.
Tees raise the ball making it easier to get a good contact which will improve the drive.
Yes, standards are the flags.
Question Author
Thank you Bibblebub
Okay I see all that but it seems to have something missing for a cryptic unless it's playing on the possible misinterpretation of standard and drives. But I bow to the specialists who have more experience than I do with crosswords.

Thank you Factor-Fiction.

I really appreciate your efforts. Sometimes crossword clues are like life they don't match up with expectations
