Think about £2k for everything

That is more than we take in profit in a year in our bar

I don’t see the connection you are making.

You said

"Can be costly if you need to change course signage."

I agree - cost to a club is relative.

We recently revised all our SIs as we made all four tees measured for gender neutral and aligned/made common all SIs for ladies and gents. Most of us are getting used to the new SIs and I'm not aware of any issues or excessive costs the club incurred in getting it done.

As part of change to SIs our 210yd Par 3 15th had its SI changed from 9 to 15. Every time I play a stableford one of my group with a PH of <15 will comment/complain that the hole is never SI 15 - it's way too hard. I point out that they still get the shot - they just get it on a different hole - one where they prevcisouly didn't.

I also add that many - if not most - mid-high SF players find the hole hard and are as likely to get a 4 on it as a higher handicapper. In a match that lower player was often giving a shot to a half decent player...and that's really tough at that point of a match. That being especially tough as most players in a match against a SF player get a shot on 14th and 17th, plus 16 is another toughie for most players other than the lowest SF guys.

Most had not thought of the change in either of these two ways.

Just a slightly picky point, tees are never gender neutral. It is just that some are rated for both genders.

Not sure I understand the differentiation. There are no longer Ladies tees and Gents tees - just tees. Only caveat to that is that our back (Silver) tees are not rated for Ladies. But I get your point that three of the four sets are rated for both Ladies and Gents.

If they are deemed 'gender neutral' then the rating CR/Slope would be the same for both genders (neutral).
They are not, it is just that the tee is rated for both genders, with different CR./Slope for each gender - there is nothing neutral about it.
