How many times have you played a new golf course for the first time and walked off the 18th green disappointed because you’ve chosen to play it from the forward tees?
I can honestly say that this has happened countless times in my 30 years playing golf. Yet I nearly always choose to play a new course from the forward tees because I’m not a long hitter, so according to the scorecard I should get more enjoyment from this length of course.
