I have been here six months and was nominated to be Secy of this golf league. We have golfers with the average age of 78 and thats' only because we have 2 golfers that are 63. Most of us have trouble walikng. Majority of them average 85, so I am introducing them to the senior tees(gold). What a hassle. I found an article in Golf Digest by Mike Shultz similar to yours a month ago and passed it out. Cry, cry cry, but not all of them. They insist on playing from the white tees. I'm not giving in. I played from the senior tees back home. What a blast to hit the greens in regulation with a iron that was designated to reach the green and not a wood. Would it be possiblle for you to send me a email with your staff heading to help them move forward and start enjoying the game as it was meant to be played.

I am a Caddie at Pebble Beach. My primary course is Spyglass Hill. Very difficult. But day in and day out I have people that just have to play the gold or blue tee box. Years ago when I was playing a lot of golf, I had an instructor tell me to play the forward tee's and get used to shooting lower scores. It works. As you say in your article, it's no fun hitting driver- 5 wood into a hole a touring pro might 3 wood - 7 iron. You get the point. But it's hard to tell someone who just put the better part of $500.00 on the counter what tee box to play from. Could not agree with you more. I am a Caddie at Pebble Beach. My primary

There is no set standard as to what a high or low Course or Slope Rating is. In very, very broad terms, Course Ratings in the high 60's/low 70's might be on the easier side, especially if this rating is well below par. Slopes in the low 120's and down would normally be considered on the user friendly side (unless it is a short course that carries an exceptionally low Course Rating). At 6,400 yards I would consider the tees you describe as a HIGH/HIGH course. It implies lots of action or lots of trouble in one form or the other. Thanks again - Jim Cowan.

I am playing 6400 71.5/132 Where does that fit in? Jim, As a newer golfer I am curious as to what qualifies as a low/high slope and or course rating?

Slow play is certainly a byproduct of playing a set of tees that is more than a golfer can handle. Thanks again - Jim Cowan Ed – Thank you for your comments.

So when you check in, checkin in your ego at the same time and play the game thank you I agree with this article and a majority of the complaints. there are far too many golfers who want to play as far back as they can without the ability to play from there. there is nothing more frustrating than watching a player at the back tees shoot 90+ and hold up a course. this should be a game of enjoyment and pleasure.

The Handicap System knows how to take care of scores from rounds where "we bit off more than we can chew" or we played uncharacteristically poor. The System relegates them to the worst 10 of your 20 most recent rounds which means that they are not computed into the Index you are issued.
