Tee it forward!

GOLF COMMITEE, CHAIR

How many of you walk up to the same set of tees every time you play at Ladies’? Why not shake it up a bit and “tee it forward”?
• Our multiple tees allow members of any ability to choose the difficulty/length of course that they play on any given day. It’s
like having 5 different courses at your disposal (or at least 3 for most of us)!
• It is easier, and more fun, for newer golfers to start on forward tees and progress back through tees as their skills develop.
There is more enjoyment and less frustration when the green can be reached in a reasonable number of shots.
• If you have limited time, playing off shorter tees makes for a quicker round.
• Playing different tees will help your game as you will be in different positions in the fairways and be using different clubs into
the greens.
• Teeing it forward is a great option if you find you are losing distance. It will allow you to enjoy the game in the same way,
instead of having to play bigger clubs into the greens.
• Playing a shorter set of tees with your friends is always more fun than playing the longer set on your own!

If you are unsure of which tees to play, try choosing a set of tees based on your current handicap or average driving distance.
The Golf Shop staff would be glad to chat with you about it.

Of course, you may also move back for a change of scenery as long as you still keep pace and are able to enjoy the round.
Purple, Red, Green, Yellow or Blue? They are all there for your enjoyment! But why not try teeing it forward? You might be
pleasantly surprised!
