Black tee players
 
I am new to the Villages (2020) and played mostly with add on players. Looking to see if there is a group of golfers who play the black tees and how to find out about them. Will be down in winter but would like to get going as soon as I get there.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I suggest you call one, or several of our country club professionals. In most sports including golf, the better players know who and where the better players are. Good Luck!

Are they the color of tees or the people? I am just learning to play golf.

If you are talking Championship Courses..........
There is a group called, The Blue Tees.
As the name indicates, they play from the blues.

Rarely will you find a gold tee player.
Black tees are pretty dusty.


If you are talking Exec Courses.......doesn't really matter.

Hmmm….

From my experience, many players play the gold tees on champ courses.

And the tee color on Exec Courses DEFINITELY matters!!!!!

Would love to see gold players

Executives???................oh no, an eight iron vs. a wedge.

It was a sunny Saturday morning, and Mike was beginning his pre-shot routine, visualizing his upcoming shot when a voice came over the clubhouse loudspeaker, “Would the gentleman on the Ladies tee please back up to the men’s tee, please!” Mike was still deep in his routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption. Again the announcement, “Would the man on the women’s tee kindly back up the men’s tee!” Mike had had enough. He shouted, “Would the horse’s ass in the clubhouse with the loud speaker kindly shut up and let me play my second shot!”

A long iron vs. a lob wedge is not unusual at all. Oh yes.

There is a gold tee group that plays regularly here. Golds are just short of black. My buddy has played with them. They have a money game weekly. They are well known so the ambassadors and staff will have info on them

LOL...anytime you want to play Pelican or Roosevelt from the Black , I'm in.
And we'll see if Black executive tees don't really matter..!!!!!!..You have to be a hack carrying a 20 thinking he's a scratch.

All the different tee box choices help the executive courses to be interesting. I'm always a single golfer so I just now play whatever the group plays. Pelican from the black is really fun!

Don't be so sensitive Sheldon.
Roosy & Pel are nice.

Significant difference between Exec black & Champ black. :ohdear:
