Explanation of Different Kinds of Golf Tee Boxes

By Jamie Faidley


During the last few years, golf has become a very popular sport. Children and grownups pick up the sport for its friendship, challenge and the pleasure they get while playing. Beginners though, face a steep learning process to pick up the game. One of the things a new golfer must learn are the essential elements of a golf course.

Most courses have alternative designs terrains, shapes and lengths, but they have also got a lot of the things very similar across all golf courses. Irrespective of what course you play on, you will find these items present on the course.

Today we're going to talk about the tee marker. Here's where you start the hole, so you may as well start here while finding out about the basic elements of the course you will be playing. You are about to find out about the different set of tee markers for each hole.

The tee markers are one of the few things a new golfer must grasp. Generally, every golf course has at least 3, but more usually four markers to drive from at the start of each hole. These teeing boxes are usually marked with either a red, white and blue or black marker.

Most ladies hit at the red markers, and they're ordinarily called the ladies' tees. This is the box located nearest the green or golf hole. Younger players and beginners should also tee off from this set of markers.

The white tee boxes are found directly after the ladies tees. This is thought of as the regular box and is generally where a median golfer drives from.

The blue tee markers are what we call the "championship tees". This is specially made for golfers that have a lower handicap or play better than the average golfer. These teeing areas are sometimes marked with a black marker, but the black marker is mostly set for the fourth or furthest tee box in most holes.

The black tee off boxes are also generally considered as the championship tees, but they are farther away than the blue tees. Whatever the place to begin on each hole, these tees usually have at least 3 tee boxes. You need to choose what ability level you are and play from the tee box that fits your game. You shouldn't play from the championship tee if you're a beginner.

So as to get the most enjoyment out of your round, play the tee boxes that fit your skill level. Only scratch golfers and pros should play the back tees. Beginners should play the front, and everybody else the middle tees.
