MOMC Policy Regarding Selection of Tees

 

The Majestic Oaks Men’s Club encourages participation in our Men's Club, like the WNL, TNL league, club tournaments and golfing with other members. All members should consider their abilities, age, physical condition, medical issues and golf handicap when making their tee selection. Selection of the proper set of tees* is important to compete equitably and enjoy the game of golf.

​

  1. At the beginning of the golf season, each member must select a set of tees to be played during league play.
    • Sliver (Slope: 120 5135 yds)
    • To Pick Silver Tees: A Members age and silver tee handicap must = 85 or greater
    • Black (Slope: 127 5999 yds)
    • Gold (Slope: 132 6426 yds)
    • Green (Slope: 132 6869 yds)​
  3. ​On or before June 15th of a membership year, each member may choose to change his tee selection by notifying the Handicap Committee Chairman in writing of intent to change. No specific reason is necessary. A member may only move one set of tees, either forward or backward. This option is available only once during a membership year.
  4. On or after June 16th of a membership year, a member may request a tee change only for an extenuating circumstance. A member may request a change by notifying the Handicap Committee Chairman in writing. His request must identify the tees he desires to play from, specific reasons for the request, and how this impacts his ability to play from his current tees. The Handicap Committee will either approve or disapprove the request.
  5. Should the request be approved, the chairman will notify the member and he may begin playing from the new tees. If the request is disapproved, the chairman will notify the member of the committee’s decision. The chairman will then forward the request, together with a summary of the committee’s reasons for denying the request, to the President of the club for presentation to the Board of Directors. The board will either affirm or overturn the committee’s decision and the president will notify the chairman and the member of the board’s action.

 

At anytime, this policy does not prevent a member from playing other tees during social play or as a member of another club or league. Should a member play from tees other than his normal tee selection, he must post his score identifying the tees actually played from.

 

*New members:

When choosing which tee (Black, Gold, or Green) to play in Men's Club events, carefully consider the following:

  • the typical distance and slope you play from on other golf courses

  • choose a distance that allows for the correct balance between enjoyment and challenge

  • your abilities (handicap level) and/or the distance you hit tee shots

  • an unofficial "rule of thumb" -- take your handicap index and subtract it from 142 to determine the tees with the best slope rating for you to play. You should usually pick the shortest overall distance when deciding between two sets of tees.

  • ask the Handicap chairman or the Pro shop for assistance if needed
