I hit a decent ball off the tee and as a result I often tee off further back than the forward tees. I want to land my ball and see it roll down the fairway. I don’t want to have to opt for a 7-iron off the tee as I often run out of fairway with my driver from forward tees.
In my opinion, many forward tees are simply positioned in the wrong place for a long-hitting woman (and most are in the wrong position for a shorter hitter too, but that’s another story). The long-hitter has little choice but to maintain her handicap on the forward tees, as the back tees just aren’t rated for women at so many courses.
