Alternate Tee #18

There is a large gap in the teeing options on the 18th hole, the Members tee plaque is 402, while the Forward tee is 324.  Adding a new tee at 360 creates more options for players of many skill levels.  Players who utilize the forward tee during the warmer months could play this tee, while members who play members tees could also use this tee during the winter months.  

The tee shot on the 18th hole is one of the most challenging tee shots on the golf course, the addition on the new tee will create an option that fits with carry distances for golfers who play these tee options.  Track-man has changed how golf is played, data is now available to correlate swing speed and optimal carry distance with each club.

This diagram is a quick reference guide for carry distances with each club in relation to swing speed.   The picture below shows the carry distance of the new tee compared to the distance of the current member tee plaque.

The forty yard difference makes a huge difference in the difficult of the carry for not only the drive, but also the second shot, which is also a forced carry.  I hope you enjoy the new tee and the options that it provides to fit your game.  The tee will open for play in the Spring of 2019.  

Have a safe and Happy New Year!
