The ladies' tees experiment

[nututhugame]

I pretty much gave up on this not because I was giving up on this, but I hardly played any golf post-starting the thread. Life kinda got in the way ya know. I'll try to remember to resume this in spring.

Somebody went to the trouble of pinning this thread so im reminding Nut he said he was gonna do it in the spring. 3 months and counting....

 

[TEA Time]

Spring has sprung. You gonna continue this experiment Nut, or should I just un-sticky it?

 

[TrickyPutt]

Oh no!

The first course in my area will be opening tomorrow.

This. And its more like spring is trying to sprung. Leave it sticky Tea... Or is it taking up too much of your server space?

 

[TEA Time]

It doesn't take up any space, I just didn't want to sticky a dead thread. I'd like to see you continue it, personally. I'd really like to see some hard data concerning this.

The only thing hard about Nut is his head.

Go easy on the guy. He's new to the game.

The thread isn't dead, I just live in WI... where golf has been dead since October. Nearest course opens tomorrow and i'm hoping to get out for 9 even though it's going to be in the high 30's. There will most likely only be one set of markers out on the whites and that's what i'm playin because i'm not playing from the ladies tees for my first time out of the year.

I don't blame you. You have a shiny new driver. Hit it well!

Last year I played driver from the ladies tees and it sucked except for I drove a par4 green to about 10'.

I can't believe you guys have courses opening tomorrow! That's crazy. Is all the snow gone there? We have at least another month before the first course opens.

I'm playing tomorrow on a course that typically has all the tees moved up this time of the year. On most of the holes, the blue, white and gold tees are in the same place as the reds. It's the only course that I know of that does this. So I should be able to add some data to this experiment. It's a course that I know inside and out. I typically shoot in the mid 70's when the tees are moved back, so the course is pretty easy to begin with. I'm gunning for something in the 60's(par 71). We'll see if I can pull it off.

Edit: I played the front 9 at that course two weeks ago and shot a bogey free 2 under. So there is some data.

We haven't had a measureable snow for a while, and a couple 50 degree days with wind and rain. The only thing left here is the drifts.

It doesn't take long to get rid of a couple feet of snow.
