Question regarding stableford
Hey all, I am on a golf trip in the UK and I've encountered something I've not seen before.
Today I played 18 holes at West Hove Golf Club in Brighton. With my group we are doing a stableford tournament for the entire trip, and we have multiple low-handicap members (47 hcp). One of whom specifically played from the red tees today, see image.
The red tees are a good distance shorter than the yellow tees, however they seem to get a much more favourable stableford score. To me this doesn't really make sense, since the holes are shorter and easier.
Am I missing something, or is this an outdated relic of the men's/women's tee system?
