I play in revolving 4some that involves 6 guys. 4 of them range from scratch to 6 HC. Me and another guy are similar, low double-digit HC's. I'm a 13, he's a couple strokes better. The 4 better players always play from the tips. (Mostly 6800-7000+ here in Houston.) I always play from a tee box up. (I prefer 6500.) It makes the round more enjoyable for me, as I know my limitations. The other guy, close to my skill level but admittedly better, refuses to move up a box if anyone in else is playing tips because he believes he has the distance to play 7200 yards. If he's playing great, I agree. He can hit it far, but he's terribly inconsistent. I've been told by the other guys that they much prefer playing with someone that knows their tee box than someone who spends the majority of the round angry, frustrated, and scoring terribly.
