It gives the short hitter a shortcut to the hole and a better angle of approach for their skills
Curious what you mean by that.
They will be coming into the green lengthwise and from a position level with the green. You can't really bounce it on, because there's a big dip between the upper fairway and the green, but you've still got a lot more room to stop the ball.
If they go left off the tee, instead, they'll have a somewhat longer approach because they can't the corner as easily as the big hitter, but more importantly, the green is shallow from that angle, and lots of shots that are short of the green will come back down the hill in front. That probably won't bother the long hitter as much, so I'm thinking they'll be more likely to play to the left instead of laying back on the direct line. But if the wind is left to right, then that downwind approach from the left will be hard to get close.
Thank you for the answer.
I suppose I thought you were saying that the shorter hitter has different skills or something.
Now, there are a lot of dumb golfers out there, but if the "right" route is the better route for the short hitter (in general), then the "right" route is the better route for the long hitter, too: he might just hit a driving iron instead of a driver. The longer the hitter, generally speaking, the better the player. The more skilled the player. Not
because of their length per se, and there are exceptions, but length correlates strongly to skill, as does accuracy.
Now again, there are a lot of dumb golfers, so maybe the longer hitter doesn't like the option that takes driver out of their hands, but the "right" route is still likely the better option for them if it's the better option for a shorter hitter.
