What tees should I play based on handicap?
Table of Contents
At a golf course with three sets of tees, the guidelines for choosing the correct set are pretty easy: The championship tees (back tees) are for low-handicap men. The middle tees are for middle to high handicap men, low-handicap or long-hitting women, and low-handicap or long-hitting senior men.
Who tees up first in golf?
Traditionally, the golfer with the lowest handicap is chosen to tee off first. But for most games, golfers tee off randomly, requiring some sort of draw. An easy way to achieve such a draw is to throw a tee. All players stand in a circle and one tosses a tee into the center.
How do I figure out which tees to use?
The formula is simple. Take the distance you hit your 5-iron, for me it’s around 185 yards, and multiply it by 36. In my case, I get 6,660 yards. This is good to hear as I usually tee it up anywhere in the 6,500-7,000 range, so it’s nice to get some validation for this 7-handicap.
What slope rating should I play?
If you are playing a course with a slope in the 130’s, you might want to aim for something under 95 as opposed to 90. On the other hand, a course with a slope in the low 100’s may allow you to aim for an 85 – or even lower.
Should I play from white or blue tees?
Don’t let the traditional meaning of “white tees” as the regular men’s tees fool you. Any golfer, regardless of gender or age, whose playing ability best matches the length of the golf course from the white tees should play those tees, whether they are in their traditional middle location or not.
Who hits first off the tee?
When starting a hole, generally the player with the lowest score on the previous hole plays first. After starting a hole, the ball farthest from the hole is usually played first.
How does PGA determine who tees off first?
The competitor who has the honor at the first teeing ground is determined by the order of the draw. In the absence of a draw, the honor should be decided by lot. The competitor with the lowest score at a hole takes the honor at the next teeing ground. The competitor with the second lowest score plays next and so on.
How do they decide who tees off first?
As for who tees off first on No. 1, the order (Rules 10-1, 10-2) should be determined by a draw or, if there’s no draw, by lot, which is also the procedure if two balls are the same distance from the hole after teeing off.
When should I move to the blue tees?
A good rule of thumb to use is if you cannot reach the green on a par three in one shot because of distance, it is a good sign that you should move up a tee. Also, the lower your handicap is, the further back you should be playing.
Which tee box should I play from?
A general rule of thumb to determine which tee box is right for you is if you hit your driver under 200 yards, play from the closest tee. If you hit from 200-225 the next farthest tee, and so on. When you are hitting 275+ accurately you should be playing the farthest tees back.
