HackWilson1930:
Best Of do count with the exception of the par 3 and par 5 courses.I believe that custom courses that are par 35 or 36 count as well. Regular courses set with red tees do count.
Right on the 1st part. BOP4, H and F count.
Wrong on custom courses. They never count.
Right on last part, that easy tees do count. That is why a lot of clubs run "go low" or "average buster" tournaments. But the players can do this themselves. They can set up their own easy tee rounds as long as it is ranked/scored (meaning single play) and not practice.
Just to note, and I have seen this in our club and others, playing the easy tees non-stop will drive one's average down and tier up, but one might not want to be there until one is ready.
