·       Play it Forward Tee’s – To be eligible for the Play it Forward Tee’s at the start of the D.B.T. your I.H. must be under 10 from the white Tee's or you have reached the age of 55.

·       You must declare your choice of tee box at the beginning of the D.B.T. Tournament & play from that choice of tee boxes the entire Tournament. Once you have played from The Back/Play it Forward Tee’s you can remain eligible for that choice each year approved by Uncle Joe.

·       If you are eligible & declare to move to (Back/Forward) tee boxes and already have an I.H. you will be assigned a N.I.H. at the completion of your first round form the new tee box. A very complicated formula will be used to determine your N.I.H. that will be used for scoring in both Team & All events on day one. After the first day this N.I.H. will average out with your I.S. each day. Uncle Joe will assign all new members an I.H. & Tee box to play from.
