Wow, that's quite the response. Playing in a timely fashion is part of the game as well. You can't just take every second you want. Remember when basketball games were 9-6? It wasn't fun, just like playing with Bryson isn't fun either.
Had that been the case they’d still be playing.I need a WTF is that guy doing on the green when his playing partner is trying to get up and down option.

After reading his response, I want to change my vote. Your friend is great!
Firstly.....it depends what yardage the tips are. I mean there are 7300 yrd courses and there are 6300 yard courses. So tips doesnt always mean the same thing at all.If you are a mid-high handicap looking to improve, you are better off playing the middle set of tee's. From here, the obvious benefits are enjoying the game more, scoring better, playing quicker, improving the pace of the whole course, etc.
But the big thing is if your looking to improve you can start off with a narrower list of things.
You will, if you decide to look, find many weak areas in your game inside 100 yards because your starting off closer to the hole.
This is what I did for the longest time. Heck, I'll go to an executive par 3 course from time to time and work more on my < 100 yard game.
Once you improve those skills, then expand out and play the tips.
You will continue to work on those skills while expanding other advanced skills presented to you from playing the tips, such as...
When you are a mid-high handicap, these things aren't primarily important for skill-development. You should be working on <100 yards, putting, avoiding penalties, etc.
- More long iron, fairway wood approaches
- Longer fairway bunker shots
- Longer greenside bunker shots
- Longer, more demanding tee shots
- Tournament-Style preparation
When you get to a more advanced level, playing tee's further back presents a new and exciting challenge while exposing more flaws in your game.
He took that well.
One needs to be able to play the game for what it is. And what the game is? is playing from tees based on his capable distance......
You don't move folks up due to inconsistencies, you move them up due to lack of distance even when they are hitting well. Tee choice is distance based , not cap based.
I diont play the tips at my courses. They are all about 7000 and I am just about long enough to play them but i dont because Im not consistent enough and I play the whites at about 6400 where i do not use driver on every hole but can on most.
I thought so.He took that well.
yes is sort of what Im saying although id really have no reason to move back. But the point being is that tee selection is a tad ability based and is why i said "within reason" as for distance.I would argue that it's not just about distance for tee selection, but also skill level/consistency. Although anyone can play the tee's they wish.
It sounds like what your saying is that, you are a long enough to play the tips, but not quite consistent enough. And that possibly... when you become more consistent, you would then move back to the tips?
