Competing from Multiple Tees


The USGA recommends that you adjust handicaps when competing from multiple teesLeague Manager makes it easy to adjust handicaps when competing from multiple tees. It is important to note that golf handicaps level the playing field when competing from the SAME tees. Comparing scores posted from the same tee is analogous to comparing "apples to apples" (unless it is mix-gendered competition). Handicaps in golf, though, do not level the playing field when players golf from different sets of tees or from the same tee with different Course Ratings (i.e., men and women's ratings). Comparing scores from different sets of tees or different Course Ratings is like comparing "apples to oranges."
