Winter Tees!

Both courses at my golf club have now moved onto the winter tees.

What that actually means is that they put the white and yellow markers together!

My only problem with this is that I could put down that I am playing off the white tees, which has a higher SSS than the yellow tees.

I was speaking to one of the staff and we both agreed that the best thing to do would be to remove the white tee markers, and then everyone plays off the yellow tees.

For now, I will put down that I am using the yellow tees whenever I put in a scorecard.

Hi Russ, I notice we also have winter tees on the short holes only, but I was not aware that handicap changes were allowed with winter rules in force as well.

Not sure of this John, but I'll ask at my club regarding this.

It could be that you are correct and I've never been in the position to have my handicap reduced during the winter.

I seem to play and score better in the winter as the rough is non existent and the greens are very receptive.
