Why can’t golfers choose any tees they want in competitions?

from The NCG Golf Podcast · host National Club Golfer

This week, Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll react to Aaron Rai’s stunning PGA Championship win and relive their own chaotic debut as a pairing in the NCG Top 100s Summer Match Play. But it isn’t long before the conversation turns back to the World Handicap System. Why are handicap allowances still confusing golfers? Why do clubs stick to the same tees every week? And if your score can be adjusted anyway… why can’t competitions be more flexible? It’s majors, match play, medal tees, and more WHS frustration on this week’s NCG Golf Podcast.
