Driving Range Tee

     I know everyone is wondering when will the grass tee be open on the driving range.  We will open the tee May 14th.  This is 2 weeks early.  We normally wait until the end of May to open the tee.  With the warm weather in March and April  we are 2 weeks ahead this year than we were in past springs.  We need the night temperatures to warm up so the Zoysia grass on the tee will grow and fill in divots you make while practicing.   We are trying to change the way you take divots from the grass tee.  See picture below.  If you use the linear method healing time will be dramatically reduced.   Our range tee is undersized and we need all the help we can get to keep the tee in good shape.  The USGA has an article on this method.  Hit the link below picture to go to the article.  Thanks for your patience.  Please obey the signs at the tee.  Stay off the grass and use mat.
