We've noticed that over the last couple of years we have begun to struggle with the turf quality on the right half of the blue tee on #3. We are pretty sure we can attribute the decline in quality to compaction and traffic from all of the players that take their pull carts up on the tee while they are teeing off. So to try and combat this problem we chose to extend the split rail fence and remove a little turf as you approach the tee from #2. By doing this our goal is to try to encourage the players to keep the pull carts on the path while teeing off and then walk down the cart path to the green. The turf that we removed was also a problem in the summer months because of the lack of good irrigation coverage. Here's a few before and after photos.
