Same Tees, But a Pink Ball!

Yes. I am in the A-Flight because of my index. If I play the same tees as the boys, then I qualify to win low gross which determines the club champion. I did, played least worst, and won. Our club doesn't have any low single digits. Our lowest player currenly is around a 4. Most are 5s and 6s with a few 7 - 9 class players. We have maybe 8 or 9 SDs including myself.

Sorry, I did not write some of that well. My women's index is currently a +0.2, but my men's equivalent index is 5.3 (I use a spreadsheet to keep the men's and the SCGA does the women's). I had roughly the 3rd or 4th lowest index of those who played in the tournament. Given my index it was not unreasonable that I could win, but most folks would consider the courses too long for me to have a chance unless they knew how far I can hit the ball. Length off the tee these days allows me to play reasonably well out to 6700 - 6900 yards as long as the slope isn't too crazy.

Good job!

If you wanted to salt in the wounds , you could use one of my favorite quotes from one of my Tour ladies. She always says (after beating a man senseless), "you're pretty good, ...for a guy."

I couldn't. The guys are mostly real nice. I really felt bad for a couple of them. They only needed to shoot average rounds to win. The eventual A-Flight net winner and the 2nd day leader (our president who should have won) both commented during the round about the inability to swallow. I have been there and felt their pain so rubbing it in would have been inappropriate. However, there are folks on occasion who I might slide one between their ribs, but they have to earn it!
