Switching Practice Tees

As discussed in earlier messages, the practice tee (driving range) has really taken a beating. It gets a lot of use over a small area. The weather has not been conducive to fast recovery and we are left with a tee in rough shape. In order to give the main tee a break we are going to move our hitting area to the back of the range by #18 green. You are asked to refrain from hitting driver from this tee due to safety concerns. While this is a slight invconvenience, we see this as necessary to allow recovery of the main tee as we head into the peak of our season. In order to minimize the wear and prolong having usable tee space you are encouraged to practice using a divot pattern in a straight line. The illustration below shows 25 divots taken in 2 different methods. One is a scattered method and the other is a single line. A single line consolidates the damage to the tee and allows us to get a lot more use out of our limited space. Give it a shot!
