Why do players tee off on #1 and #10 on the weekend?

Under normal conditions, weekend play is scheduled to end at 5:00PM local time and players tee off on the #1 tee only. There are two situations where this can change. TV scheduling or the weather may force modifications to the normal schedule. If the scheduled TV air time ends at say 3:00PM, the tournament would like to complete play by that time and this means we have to use both the both the #1 and #10 tees to finish on time. If weather delays the start of play, we may also have to compress play by starting on both the front and back.
