Seniors play the White Tees, which measure a rather short 6131 yards, but it’s still 5 under par, which is fantastic for a 77 year old.

It is becoming common now for golf courses around here to have yellow or gold senior tees. They are put between the red tees (womens) and white tees. Makes the game much more fun for seniors, instead of a par 4 being 400 to 420 yds it is 330-370. Most of us seniors can not reach the green in 2 if it is 400 yds away.

Absolutely! I know people who were ready to stop playing golf because it wasn’t fun any more. The white tees at my club are 6433 yards and that’s very long for the super senior crowd. They’re now playing the new hybrid tees (a combination of white and silver) that measure 6078 yards and they’re back to enjoying the game because they can get pars again and even the odd birdie, as they did before they became super seniors (65+).

Keeps the wedge game sharp.
