Re: Senior Division or Open Division?
This is an interesting dilemma. The only competition at our club where different tees are used is the Championship and the 1st flight (A Division H'caps up to 7) plays off the championship tees, while the B division plays off the club tees. Last year, at 63, I made the top 16 thereby qualifying for the match play champinship. However, this year I didn't play because there is no provision made for low handicap senior golfers and, frankly, the course is just too long to be fun off the back. I have advocated a separate division for seniors in the A division (either 50+ or 55+ ... it doesn't matter where you draw the line) but have had the response that there's a separate senior championship. Quite frankly that's a social morning played on a stableford basis and is of no interest.
In your shoes I'd be inclined to play in the toughest school as long as I could but would make an exception this year because of the sore heel.
Remind the opposition to beware of the injured golfer!!
