They will decide their gender by the clolour of the tee box. Those tee off from blues are men, from red are women, from white - they are in between men and women, aka undecided.
Make sense? |

| I met a young man with his parents struggling with their every shots infront of us at Tanjong Puteri last sunday. Obviously they were beginners as they were topping and slicing away so we could not wait any longer and,with Marshal's agreement, we skipped the hole and went on to next hole. As we drove past the young man, I said to him that they should have gone to Course C where there were less people and it's meant for beginners. He shot back and said they are not beginners. And I said : But you are not a woman too, why did you tee off from red tee?
There are many short hitters and beginners who play from blue tees on week ends, disregarding traffic jams behind them. Those are the stupid egos. |

| Bro, first you must state whether you are playing A course or B course. If you happened to play A course which is a member's course, they might be members of the club thus entitling them to play A course so they have every right to play there and I presumed they tee from white or even red like you said. In fact, I like this guy who knows he can't play well and decided to play from RED! Don't tell me when you were a beginner, you don't play this way? Come on bro give the guy a break. He did not use his ego and play white not to mention some people who plays like him plays from the blue. I have my say. The ball is back in your court but I won't be hitting it back to you as I have decided to not to play your kind of game. Just being me.

| Take it easy guys, my post is simply tongue in cheek, about blue, red, or undecided tees.
Tituman, I played course B last sunday although most of us (2 full flights) were members of Tjg Puteri and we are regular there.
The angmo kid was teeing off from red(he's probably 17 or 18), with his mother. His father was teeing off white. So they were teeing off the right tees. No issue with that.
We were all low to mid handicappers teeing blue.
The mother was the best golfer among the three, father were son were topping like first timers.
My point was :the kid said they were not beginners, which we could not believe from they way they handled the ball. There were 4 flights being held up (we have 2 flights, plus another 2 other flights behind us), and they refused to let us play through, instead they claimed they were not beginners and they were not slow. They must be hitting more than 10 strokes each for Par 4 before they even got to the green!
So my point to the kid was, if you are not beginner, why tee off from red? I was not asking him to tee off blue, but I was making a point that he was not honest about his status, and being defensive on holding up play.
Eventually all four flights drove past them, one after another. We were patient for a while, but we could not take it anymore.
When I started golf, I picked off peak time slots, and courses with fewer players and I looked back often to wave people through. It was a sunday, with crammed tee off times, so they should have either played Course C, or let faster players play through.
Sorry for taking the thread off a tangent. This is for Horizon Hills. Not about defensive slow players. |

| This is a classic example of how one's message can be interpreted differently by different ppl. When I saw freedrop's post, I understand what he meant. Titu took it differetly.
Kudos to freedrop for bothering to explain and titu from accepting the explanation
Guys, pls note that a message's original intention can easily be misunderstood.......just like an email has no tone. Happy CNY |
