All of our Championship courses here have the handicap recommendations for each tee on the scorecard....for both men and women. It's just that some folks either don't know their handicap or don't follow the recommendation.

I'm not sure playing from the wrong tee is slowing play. It's that lots of folks haven't a clue of the etiquette of golf. I try to assume they are new to the game and learning, so I'm trying to have a little patience, this time of year.
