We're excited that TEE IT FORWARD, the national initiative that launched in 2004 and is supported by The PGA of America and the USGA, has been enthusiastically received byPGA Professionals and the Golfing Community. Here are some basic reminders:
-
TEE IT FORWARD iss highlighted at golf facilities nationwide, but your customers can TEE IT FORWARD every day, every round, every time.
-
TEE IT FORWARD helps golfers play from tees best suited to their game. That can mean more fun and maybe faster rounds.
As an official TEE IT FORWARD host facility, the most important thing you need to do is encourage golfers to play from tees best suited to their abilities.
In 2011, golfers nationwide reported:
-
47% felt they played faster
-
52% were more likely to play more often
-
70% had more fun
-
91% are likely to TEE IT FORWARD again
If you want to have more fun on the golf course and maybe play a little faster, TEE IT FORWARD may be just the game for you. TEE IT FORWARD can help you play from tees best suited to your game, based on how far you hit the ball. This new national initiative from The PGA of America and United States Golf Association will take place at golf facilities nationwide from July 5-17, 2011, but you can do this anytime. Use the TEE IT FORWARD Guidelines to help select which tees to play. Tell us what you think. Go to PlayGolfAmerica.com/TEE IT FORWARD to share your comments and enter to win prizes.
