Should I be playing the 5700 tees right now. I'm thinking yes? At least until my driver gets consistent and my score comes down?

That sounds like a good plan... 6500 is a long course if you don't hit driver or a fairway wood off the tee on a regular basis... At 5700 yards you still have a chance to get home in two using a long iron off the tee. You should see some lower scores and probably enjoy it a bit more as well...

Work on the driver though at the range and once you feel comfortable with it you can try to back up again.

Thanks....and yes, golf dollars go a long way in these parts!   It was sunny and 50 today, so I got my membership today!!  .....but I only played 10 holes. LOL    It was one of those days when the flags were bending sideways........10 holes was enough!   I didn't even keep score.....it just felt good to get outside and hit a few golf shots.   This course is extremely difficult, so it will be fun to see how much my HC rises in 2013.    Reaching the greens is only half the battle because they are very slopey and difficult to 2-putt unless you are near the cup.  I've been playing the same course since 2006......so a golf change this year should be fun!!

It will be in the 50s again tomorrow with less wind, so I'll probably hit the links again tomorrow and play a whole 18.

I doubt your handicap to rise too much based solely on the difficulty of the course ... it's clearly rated as such.  I will guess, though, that you might see a spike at first while just getting comfortable there.

I understand the CR should fully adjust for course difficulty.    What I do know is I'll need at least 3 extra putts per round alone to get in the cup!!..........LOL   ....and this doesn't even account for the difficulty reaching the greens!!  .......if ya know what I mean. 

All I have to say is it will be very interesting and I look forward to the new challenge.  The course I left is rated difficult too, but I've played it nearly 1,000 times and have grown comfortable with it.   The greens were flatter, and I could putt them in my sleep with my eyes closed.......(my strength).   I think I'll be in for a rude awakening in 2013.  It will be fun.....

No sweat, I have faith in you!  I think that after 50 or 100 rounds here you will be able to putt them with your eyes closed as well!

Then, think of how much better of a putter you will be everywhere!

Good luck!

length isn't the issue..........hitting the ball straight is!!!  LOL.....there's a lot of hazards to negotiate and stray shots=penalty shots/lost balls.   I consider #15 to be the most difficult par5 I've ever played!!  Most people look at par5s as scoring opportunities, but not that hole!   I played a full 18 yesterday, but still haven't kept scores...LOL   It just feels good to just hit some golf shots.
