Wish I had thought of this when I made the thread. I mess up my scorecard all the time starting on the back nine!The hardest part is making sure I select the right starting hole in my scorecard app. Other than that, I don't mind too much.
People don't get it. When it's busy, what do they expect us to do for them when they are making the turn and the tee sheet is full? They expect to be let on through since they are in the middle of their round, but it was their choice to sneak (they usually sneak off the back rather than get permission) off the back nine. The sneaking usually only occurs during the week when we don't have an official starter (during the week, the marshall helps send people off when the tee sheet has busy spots).I could care less where I start even though out 10th is the #1 handicap hole. When I working there, lot of people request to go off the back simply because the front is filled up.
I don't like starting off with par 3, that is the only time it may bother me.
Don't ever play Pacific Grove Municipal in Monterey, CA then! The first two holes are Par 3's!I don't mind, but I will say after playing a lot of shotguns and random hole starts, I definitely prefer starting off on a par 4/5 rather than a par 3. Obviously a mental thing, but I think I like to feel like I have some chance to recover if my first shot of the round is wayward.
As I said in an earlier post, it doesn't normally matter. There are rare occasions when it does irritate me a little. When a course has an exceptional "closing hole", I don't like playing it in the middle. A couple of examples of that are True Blue and Caledonia. Their closing holes are so cool that I really want to save them for last. They are such a fun way to end a round, especially if you're with a large group and you can sit on the porch with a brew and watch everyone play in.
Just wondering, how often a stay and play course needs to do that? Do these courses have leagues that would warrant having to start players off #10 occasionally or is there some other reason they swap the nines?If it's a course I'm used to playing, it doesn't bother me. My home course growing up actually had a better set of starting holes on the back than the front (in my opinion).
Obviously, if I've never played the course before, starting on 10 versus 1 doesn't matter. But, I don't like doing this with new courses, because the course seems unfamiliar the second time I play it and start on hole no.1.
Perfect example of this is True Blue. First time I played it I started on no.10. The course felt unfamiliar the next couple times that I played it. Weird, I know.
