Nilsen League players have options when it comes to tee boxes.
To be as politically correct as possible we will refer to the tees identified with White markers as the “PRO” tees. The Gold marked tees will be called the “CHAMPION” tees. No longer will they be segregated by color, gender or age.
Number 1 Rule: Any and all players can play from the Champion tees or the Pro tees. It is their option.
All they need to do is inform the league Director prior to opening day.
If during the season a player desires to move from the Pro to the Champion Tees they must notify the league Director prior to the move.
Players with a handicap established from the Pro tees and moving to the Champion tees will initially have their handicap adjusted by 1.5 strokes.
A statistically accurate Champion Tee handicap will be established over the next several rounds.
The Champion Tees have been established to provide:
1) Improved Competition
2) Faster Play
3) More Fun
Your decision to move up should be based solely on ABILITY.
You should consider moving up if:
DISTANCE: If your lack of distance prevents you from reaching the majority of holes in regulation.
HANDICAP: If you struggle to maintain a single digit handicap.
