Question:"How can we keep our tees in good condition? They are always ragged or cut-up?"
Answer/Response:"If tees were given a fraction of the attention devoted to putting greens they could be enormously improved over the present average. Practically total neglect or else good attention once a year is the usual treatment given to tees. It is not enough. One little scheme that will preserve the grass on the tee for those who wish to use it is to have the tee plates at the extreme front and have the first yard of the tee bare. Ninety per cent of the players to gain this yard will tee on the bare place, and thus reduce divoting to a minimum. Perhaps the best way to cover bare spots formed in the turf on the tee is by inserting a piece of sod when necessary. Indeed resodding all or most or a tee every spring is a method used on some courses. If anyone has discovered how to keep grassed tees perfect, we want him to give us his method."
