Playing From Different Tees Section I If we're playing an event from different tees, the golfer playing from the tees with the higher Course Rating receives extra strokes, which are added to his already determined Course Handicap.
We determine the strokes by the rounded-off difference between the two Course Ratings. If Woodstock plays from the forward tees, where the Course Rating is 70.9, and his Course Handicap is 20, and I play from the Beagle tees, where the Course Rating is 72.1, and my Course Handicap is 13, I get one more stroke. (The difference between the two Course Ratings is 72.1 - 70.9 = 1.2 or 1.). In our match, I would give Woodstock six strokes instead of seven.
Men and Women
The same standards apply when men and women compete from different tees or the same set of tees. Check the Women's Course Rating for the set of tees she will use. Compare it to the Men's Course Rating for the set of tees he will use. If, for example, the Women's Course Rating is 72.5 from the forward tees, and the Men's Course Rating is 70.5 from the middle tees, she'll get an extra two strokes (72.5 - 70.5 = 2).
