Life Tees
Drawing on the success of the Longleaf Tee program and US Kids Golf, all 27-holes at SGC were analyzed for forward teeing opportunities based on player swing speeds (i.e. hitting distances) and the physical dynamics of each individual hole. Each nine hole course was updated with a new teeing system that will play as short as 1900 yards and step back at average intervals of 300 yards per marker. The most forward teeing areas (1900 yds) are built as subtle, but distinct pads at the beginning of each fairway. These tees will have the same marking system as the other tees, but are otherwise blended into the surrounding bentgrass and easily maintainable with fairway mowing equipment.
