Red, White and Blue

 Golf is really changing!!!   The other day I went out to play on an old golf course that was recently redesigned by Jack Nicklaus. It is a champion style golf course so I wanted to play from the forward tees which are now White. No problem.   All the guys in my foursome said that's the right distance for us, now.

Without any comment or shame, we all played from the forward tees, which were White. We all remember  in the old days there were only three tees, Red ( women), White ( member) and Blue ( champion).  The front tees, Red, were only played by the women. In  new golf course design the forward  tees  are  presented in a way so anyone that plays from this tee will not feel downgraded.

 When they redesign or build a new golf courses they change the color of the forward tees from Red (women only tee) to white, green, yellow or any other color but red as way of continuing to attract people who can not hit the ball as far but still wanted to play a championship course.

Is golf changing???  ....maybe
