I&#8217;ve played at some fantastic locations over the years and it never fails &#8211; the scenery just seems to &#8220;pop&#8221; more from back there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve photographed most of the courses I&#8217;ve played. I&#8217;m not much of a photographer, but I&#8217;ve taken a few winners in my day and I&#8217;m usually standing on the back tees when\u00a0all my best photos are captured. I&#8217;ll even try and snap a few shots from the middle tees, but I always end up walking back for a better view.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is, when you stand at the tips of a course, you&#8217;re seeing what the course architect intended you to see &#8211; how the hole is &#8220;really&#8221; supposed to look. Leave that championship tee box and the view, the hole&#8230;the entire feeling just loses something.<\/p>\n<p>And what of the challenge? A golfing buddy once told me: &#8220;You have to play from the tips because if you don&#8217;t, you&#8217;re not <i>really<\/i> playing the golf course.&#8221; Is this true? It sounds reasonable &#8211; I don&#8217;t think many architects design a course from the greens back. Typically, they design it from the tips forward &#8211; positioning the middle and forward tees somewhat after the fact.<\/p>\n<p>This all seems logical to me. Screw it! I&#8217;m playing the back tees from now on! I&#8217;ll take-in all the best views and test my metal on the <i>true<\/i> course layout! Boy, this is gonna be great! That is, of course, until I realize none of my tee shots are finding the fairway because; A) they&#8217;re either not long enough to make it over the <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.com\/blog\/average-hack-golf-glossary#caliche\">caliche<\/a> from back there or; B) I couldn&#8217;t successfully play a fade or draw around a corner to get it to the fairway.<\/p>\n<p>You see, the reality is I have no business playing from back there, and neither do many of you. Yet I see it all too often. A couple of clowns who barely know how to hold a club are teeing it up from the tips. The result? <a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2010\/02\/10-sure-fire-signs-youre-in-for-long.html\">A long afternoon on the course<\/a>. Look, unless you know the course well, most average hacks should be teeing-off from the middle tees. For one, you won&#8217;t get frustrated because you shot 10 strokes over your average. Second, you won&#8217;t be holding up everyone on the course because of your struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Heck, the USGA even came up with a rating system to help you decide which tee box you should play from. It&#8217;s called the Slope Rating. Want to learn more? Read my post from last year called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/golfstinks.blogspot.com\/2009\/12\/what-crap-is-slope-rating.html\">What the Crap is a Slope Rating?<\/a>&#8221; This is something our pal Tom over at the golfnoise blog should have done before he and his buddies <a href=\"http:\/\/www.golfnoise.com\/journal\/2010\/11\/12\/fall-golf-and-the-trouble-with-golf-trousers.html\">let the way they were dressed get in the way of which tee-box they played from<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, should average golfers never get to experience the course the way it was intended to be experienced? Not necessarily. Last week I wrote about the joys of playing golf when very few people were out on the course. I mentioned that if no one is behind you, it&#8217;s OK to slow down and take in more of the scenery.<\/p>\n<p>Next time there&#8217;s plenty of room between you the group behind you, this is a perfect time to try playing from the tips. If one group starts to catch up, let them play through. The less stress you put on yourself, the better you&#8217;ll play. Of course, don&#8217;t say I didn&#8217;t warn you when you shoot 10 strokes over your average from back there.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The view always seems better from the back tees, doesn&#8217;t it?
