I just think if you are really trying to be competitive in an event, you should prepare yourself for that event. At that point where people SHOULD be playing from goes out the window because they are knowingly playing in an event that is played from where they should not be playing from. I'm sorry, I will never see the point in just throwing strokes to players who fail to properly prepare themselves.
But like I said earlier in this thread, maybe I'm just a huge jerk.
Yeah, I get it. Leave the tournaments and advantages to those who can hit it far, or get an inflated handicap from the tournament tees. Forget 'fun for everyone' or 'tee it forward' because it's about playing from the tournament tees to establish that handicap!
It's an old school way to look at the game, and I can't wait for golf to get out of it's own way and be fair for everyone. If people don't like it, many tournaments have a scratch division from the tips.
