He has not, in his own description, played the wrong tees in the last ten years. He has played the white tees, or the blue tees, or whichever set of tees the men in his regular fourball play from, and he has done so because the alternative was the set of tees in front of those, which would, in his account, have made the course too short for him to take seriously. The argument this piece would like to make is that the alternative is, in nearly every case, the correct one. The recreational golfer who plays one set of tees forward will, by the end of a season, have a lower handicap, a slightly faster round, and a different relationship with the course he plays most often than he had before he made the change.</p>
