Belmont Golf Course | Swing By Swing

These numbers are from the third hole approaches on Belmont. You can see the same kind of patterns of greens on various other golf courses in the Villages. They have the numbers on plaques from the greens where you tee off. But there is also a post with these numbers on them as well near the place where you tee off for the holes.

I see these are the Champion, Men's and Women's tee off spots from the Swing by Swing web-site as it shows these three numbers for Belmont Hole 3.

Those numbers on each of the tee box plates are from that particular plate to the center of the green. The three numbers on the pole at the tee box simply tell you the yardage of the hole from each tee. And I'll add, the yardage numbers on the scorecard, tee marker, and ground plates should all match. The most important thing the golfer will look at is the plate in the ground, then estimate his/her yardage based on where the tee markers are in relation to the plate and whether the pin on the green is in the front, middle, or back of the green.

Three alternatives are provided on each hole of an Executive course. But I could be wrong in my explanation.
Usually, newbies golf from the green tee markers which are closest to the flag.
Some of us never progress any farther than the greens no matter how long we've been playing.
The middle gold tee markers are further from the flag.
The black tee markers are furthest from the flag and are for those with a stronger swing.

I have found on the par threes in TV, that when they move the tee markers forward or backward on the tee boxes, they move the pins the same direction and the yardages stay fairly constant.

I did not notice the colors. I will have to look again on the Belmont course when the balls are not flying around. Thanks Barefoot.

That very well could be, I really never gave it much thought.

I did notice these colors too now that you had pointed them out.

Some of these holes have four areas where you can tee off as on the 4th Hole of the Belmont Golf Course???

Some have 5 teeing areas to choose from. It's amazing they look so good with golfers from sunrise to sunset. Somebody told me the teeing area has a slab of concrete underneath it. Is that true?
