I played in an Open at The Roxburghe in Kelso yesterday. Quality course but 6,925yds off the whites in a strong wind. We jokingly commented on the 1st that we should just play off the yellows and enjoy ourselves rather than struggle off the whites. By the end of the 18 we all came off tired, drained and a little beaten up. We all commented that we would play the course again off the yellows but would not come back if it was whites only. No one wavered on that.
So, has anyone actually done what we joked about? Sized up a course, realised the degree of difficulty (added to by weather conditions) and decided to dq yourselves and play for fun off more suitable tees? If not, would you?
