The SSS is measured from the 'Posts or Stones, plate or another marker' on the teeing ground. You can often find 3 -4 sets of tees (whites, yellows, reds etc) on the same teeing ground and these will more than likely have a different SSS. So no, it's not measured from the back of the teeing ground. Tee markers will need to be put out close enough to the relevant stone, post etc so the combination of 18 holes does not exceed 100 yards.
