Speaking of old fart problems, the tee assignments for a tourney I signed up for a long time ago in Grand Rapids were recently published. They want MA-40 to play an 18-hole 8,200' layout twice in one day. I had to ask the TD to make sure that wasn't a typo. Yep. No "short" tees in the 5,000's for the division that has guys nearing the half-century mark with a bad left hip. I politely requested a refund.
Who wants my addled body creating backups on a course that long anyway?
There were a grand total of two MA-40's signed up for this. Now it's just that guy with the division all to himself. Who knows? Maybe he just hit the big 4-0 and doesn't have anything wrong with him yet. Power to him!
They should have to declare tee assignments when the tournament is first announced. I sure as heck would've never registered for this in the first place. Rant over.
