Scramble, shamble and alternate shot formatted events are the exceptions, in that all team members will play from the “longer” teeing area (example: 3 white and 1 green tee players on a team. The green tee player will move back and play from the white tees).
Rule of 80 - A player who reaches the age of 70 during that calendar year (12/31) and whose age added to their handicap index exceeds 80 is eligible to play from the tee area of their choice (blue, white, green, green/red and red).
