Hello, On January 30, 2002, I asked on fwp for a similar question, which result was the thread "beginner's definition". Now my opinion is "enter golf as you want". You can see beginners over veterans, and vice versa. For me, the meaning of beginner's board is "play with us, please, even if you don't want to be considered a veteran". Perhaps I never had entered a golf course if there was not a beginners' leaderboard.
