Forward tees, often referred to as "senior tees" or "ladies' tees," are the set of tee boxes located closest to the putting green on a golf course. They are designed to make the game more accessible for players of varying skill levels, particularly those who may struggle with longer distances. By using forward tees, golfers can enjoy a more enjoyable and manageable round. These tees help to level the playing field, allowing players to focus on their technique and enjoyment rather than solely on distance. Many courses offer multiple tee options, including men's tees and championship tees, to accommodate different abilities and preferences.
