Here are some new locations for ladies tees in 2012. Hole #6 could be 50+ yards shorter (125 yards) and #16 could be as much as 60 yards shorter (120 yards) than the current tee boxes if this project is approved.
I have often believed that the ladies tees were positioned too far back and also believe that the tee space on our par 3's is too small. The construction of new tee's on these two par 3's allow for more tee space for the men and a more comfortable hole for the ladies.
My plan is to cut these areas down to tee height (did that today as you can see in the pictures) and when construction begins save the sod so the tee can be put into play as soon as possible. We want to excavate a larger area then you see in the picture so we can elevate the tee slightly and of course be left with a flat tee.
No time table is set for this project because it has not been approved yet. I would like to get #16 done early in the summer and #6 (requires more fill) completed late summer or early fall.
