TopShelf2010: By no means do I consider myself to be an A/S expert, but I thought there was the choice of who tees off first?
Nope.
Strictly speaking, it offers the choice of who tees off second, because the second team may chose who starts the game for them.
As said before, the game creator is always the first to tee off.
This may create funny situations - remember a friend who created many games on BoF F9. He always had the tee shot on #1 (BPB#1) and, inevitably, the second shot on #2 (CCC#6) with that treacherous water on the right. He sacrificed a bunch of balls and a bunch or holes there ;)
