Golf Tee Options: Age Requirements & Handicap

Question
A what age are you considered eligible to hit from the gold tees? One answer said "senior" is that 55, 60, 65 or ?
Thanks

Answer
Hi Ken,

Actually, you can hit from whatever tees you like at any time. All tees are rated so you can acquire a handicap from any set of tees. I think you're actually meaning, though, when are you actually a senior golfer. There's no one definitive age. The Champions Tour (senior PGA tour) has a minimum age of 50 for its players). Many clubs have the age of 55.

Hope that helps.
