| Question: | "We are experiencing problems maintaining a grass cover on our driving range tee surface. How large does my driving range tee need to be?" |

| Source of Question: | Colorado |

| Answer/Response: | "Two pieces of information are needed to answer the question of whether a practice or driving range tee is large enough: 1) Is a routine divot repair and golfer rotation program being followed to ensure timely regrowth of teeing surfaces following golfer use? 2) Is the teeing ground large enough to allow adequate regrowth for a dense grass teeing surface when the rotation returns to the reseeded areas? If you do not have a routine divot repair and golfer rotation program in place, implement one for at least one full season to see if the tee size is adequate. If you do have a routine divot and golfer rotation in place and still are not able to keep grass cover on the tee surface, then your tee is too small. Two options are available for gaining additional teeing area. One option is to replace a row of grass with concrete and artificial turf to allow rotation between the grass and artificial surfaces. A second option, provided adequate space is available on site, is to expand the teeing surface area by new construction." |
