Tee It Forward
In an attempt to enhance the overall experience of the game of golf as well as speed up gameplay, the PGA and USGA implemented a program known as "Tee it Forward." What this program entails is that golfers should match their skills and abilities with the appropriate tee box. Tee it Forward encourages golfers to select the tee box that best suits their average driving distance. If golfers choose to embrace this proposal then they should see their handicaps drop!
When golfers move forward a tee box they have the potential to add even more excitement to the game of golf. Take approach shots for example, golfers that normally hit a hybrid or low iron from the back tees may have a mid to high iron into the green which could ultimately lower their scores. In theory, when golfers play from forward tees it will result in fewer shots and fewer lost balls, something that every golfer should aim for while on the course.
*This chart should be used as a basis to assist golfers in selecting the appropriate tee box to hit from in order to optimize gameplay.
