If you have been paying attention to golf on television recently, you might have seen information about the USGA and PGA’s new initiative called Tee it Forward. This program was designed to find you an 18-hole yardage that is matched up with your driving distance. The Tee it Forward strategy will allow players to hit the same club into greens that PGA Tour players do. Below you will find a chart that helps you understand what tees you might be best suited to play from.
I recommend this program to ANY golfer that wants to enjoy their round more. When I teach beginners, I always tell them to try to hit a tee shot, make an attempt at the next shot, and if it doesn’t go as planned, pick it up and put it on the green. Unless you play in a golf group that battles it out for a couple of bucks, pick a spot to tee off from that will allow you to enjoy your round. Remember, Tee it Forward, Play Faster, and Have More Fun!!!
