Seminole - new shared tee

Seriously, no pictures?!?!

I have seen a lot of shared tees, and built a few.  The first one that comes to mind is 7 / 15 at Shoreacres, because the shared tee is the middle men's tee today; both holes have been extended by back tees that cross over significantly.  But Shoreacres, like Seminole, is not busy enough for it to become a real safety issue.

At Old Town, we have a "double green" at Holes 8 and 17. Immediately thereafter, Coore & Crenshaw recaptured our "shared tee" at Holes 9 and 18. However, we decided to go with the same tee markers for both holes. (It looked too cluttered to have a "shared tee" with all kinds of markers on it. And to minimize any confusion, we added a directional rock flush in the ground.



Coore recommends we join Hole 1 and 10 tees also. It's on our punch list of upcoming "in-house" projects.

I think I will take credit for the combined tees on 9&18.  Below is the question I asked in my tour of Old Town some five years ago after playing the course.  Please inform C&C that I expect the appropriate fee deposited into my account 

Why not simply put 9 & 18 tee markers across the width of the pad and let the player choose his line? 

I am a big fan of shared tees a greens.

Boca Rio has shared tees (7 & 9) and shared greens (9 & 18)

Holes 6 & 18 also came close to having a shared tee.

Another Ross course (mostly) with shared tees is Gulph Mills (#11 and 18).
You can see it on Joe Bausch's wonderful course tour and read Tom Paul's remarks about their genesis.

Shared tees

  Bretwood North ( Cornish & Barrett ) Keene NH

  13TH & 16TH ( Both 3 Pars) 13th is the Island hole -16th is uphill thru a chute of trees . Both have two tiered greens.

   The shared area is huge where there are many possibilities for total distance and angles depending on hole location.

    Have done " set up  " many times at the North and have never experienced so many available options in a shared tee area.

     I do remember, as a boy in the early sixties a hot dog type cart between 1 and 10 at Seminole. My Uncle Ed was a buddy of Chris Dunphy's but he didn't play golf but he enjoyed " social privliges " and he would take me over when Mr. Hogan was in residence at Mr. Coleman's across the street and I would watch him hit balls and eat as many hot dogs as I could.

The par 3 12th ("Battleship") and par 5 16th share a tee at Bald Peak Colony Club (Ross).  The shared tee probably slows things down a little, but it's more than made up for by the interaction with other groups.

Philadelphia Cricket Club, holes 3 and 11 share a tee box.

Ross designed a shared tee at Country Club of Columbus (GA) for #1 and #10.  It is also the practice putting green too.  So, you roll your last practice putts and then step right to the tee with out leaving the area.  Someone mentioned  noise/distraction.  It is a consideration, but tends to a great first tee experience in competition.

Great club by the way.  Ross course, great membership, no tee times and run by a great PGA Pro, Brian Stubbs.
