Par4QC
In our Senior Men's Quota Group we have guys who are in their late 50's to mid 80's. We have one guy who plays the White tees (~6400) and 3 or 4 (including myself) who play the Gold tees (~6000) with the majority playing the Silver tees (~5600). And I think we have 4 guys who play the Reds (~5200).
Again, in a Quota game the tee you play will be reflected in your Quota. You play a shorter tee, then in theory and in practice you should score better, therefore you'll have a higher Quota.
In a perfect world ideally if you have players playing off different tees you should see players hitting similar clubs into greens.
So if I'm playing the Golds and someone is playing the Reds we each should be hitting a similar club into the green (ideally).
But as we know golf is far from perfect. On a couple of holes on our course the Gold player may have a hybrid into the green where the Red player has a wedge.
But again, whatever tee you play from will be reflected in you Quota. So, the guy who is now playing the shorter Red tees instead of the Silvers can score better and now has a higher Quota.
So, to answer your question, no there is no problem playing different tees in terms of the Quota game. We do have a couple guys who play the shorter Silvers who definitely are long enough and should be playing the Golds.
But again, all that means is they have shorter clubs into the greens, but they now have a higher Quota to make.
We try to limit the Silvers for guys who are 70 and older, but we make exceptions depending on the individual.
For me personally I don't want to play day in day out having wedges into most of the par 4's. Ideally I want to play from a tee where I can possibly hit every club in my bag in 18 holes of golf.
For example my average Quota is ~ 25 and I'm an 11 capper. So I'm playing a tee that suits my game.
