They can have an opinion of course, but they most likely dont have a deep enough understanding of the matter for that opinion to consider it superior to and so correcting the official one. I will grant they may hold their erroneous opinion very strongly, and some placebo or comfort benefit helping their score may acrue from playing the tees of their choice under a mistaken belief.I think any golfer can speak about their own experience, whether that indicates a 'flaw' or more likely, just a personal impact of the rating is another matter
I average over 8 shots higher from the comp tees than I do playing one tee forward, the stroke allowance difference is 'just' 3 shots
I don't know how many other players I'd have to find experiencing similar to change personal impact into flawed rating ?
