Randini, just jumping in, we added a couple of years ago family tee markers that shorten up our holes for example, on our Par 5 first hole we installed a marker at 322 yards and a marker at 173. Through US Kids we have two courses set up, and it could be rated as I understand.
One course is recommended at 2,200 yards with par 3's between 45-85 yards, par 4's at 85-135 yards and par 5's at 135 to 195 yards.
The other course is recommended at about 3,800 yards with par 3's at 74-115 yards, par 4's at 185-245 yards and par 5's at 285-345 yards.
Our golf pro will use the markers while doing youth leagues and lessons, while during our jr. tournament, he will use them on a 6 hole loop for the 9 and under crowd.
We have used them just to go out and hit irons for fun.
I do now have golf course architect on my resume now, since I layed out the tee markers......
