Yardage’s

[Bobby Thomas]

Little frustrated but will make do…FAQ expected yardage’s ages 50-59 HDCP 10-20 expect 5700-6200…3 of the 4 rounds are over 6200…one being 6397 with a 5987 available…practice all year on tee’s between 5900 and 6200 to prep only to be misled. Let’s go!!! I’m ready for the challenge.

It does seem that the posted yardage are a bit long for many. Maybe yhe pros at each course will show some mercy and move a few tees up to keep pace of play and for everyone to have some fun.
If not then bring plenty of patience and hope the long game is ready for a test.
Good luck to everyone and let’s have some fun!!!

The problem is the flight summary list the handicap range but it is actually our handicap index. According to my handicap and my age based on the WA guidelines I should be playing courses that are 5,700 – 6,200 yards but I am playing courses with a high of 6,397 yards and the low of 6,079 and the 2 in the middle at 6,214 & 6,239. The WA always puts us at the furthest distance never the upfront distance. So frustrating. I come to have fun and not be tortured.

John you are in a group that is sub 10 handicap. 50-59 at 5-10 handicap the yardages go up to 5900-6400 if I remember correctly

When I first started playing in the world lamb in 2005 and was much younger. We could expect every tea to be at the tips for whatever yardage you were supposed to be playing. It IS Advertised as a Golf tournament. PLAY HARD

WAM has to pick rated tees in order to do course handicap calculations. The complaint is on Brick’s Landing at 6000 set of tees. The next set of tees down is 5100. That is too low for your age group and would lead to even more bitching for a major reduction in strokes.

In the past especially since the hurricane year of 2023, many courses will move specific hole tees from the rated yardages. Brick’s has those two par 4’s and one par 5 that appears to be very long and if they just move those to the lesser set of tees, the course will be 5700. The rest of the holes look just fine for the age group. I would be willing to bet those three holes and maybe some others will be adjusted by the course pro and superintendent.
