improve the pace of play.<\/p>\n
At Laguna Woods Village\u2019 27-hole golf course, we’ve<\/p>\n
embraced this program by adding a fourth set of tees, called<\/p>\n
the \u201cSilver Tees,\u201d on Course 3. These tees are placed further<\/p>\n
forward on the fairway, making the game more accessible for<\/p>\n
new players or those with shorter hitting distances.<\/p>\n
An added perk of the Silver Tees is that players can still use<\/p>\n
