New forward tee #13

We also have began the construction of the new forward tee on #13.  This was always a very difficult hole for our ladies as they started with an uphill tee shot out of the hole.
Above I am standing on the old tee box and you can see their dislike of this tee shot, the new tee under construction is on the top left.
Here is a view from their new tee location toward the green.

Standing on the new tee looking back down at the old tee, you can see the improvement this will bring to get them up to the top of the hill.  It will take about 125 yards off the hole and make it a Par 4 instead of a par 5, but after sitting down withe the ladies association it is very worth it and will make that hole much more enjoyable.  We are in discussion about moving the forward tees back on #14 to make that a par 5 instead of a par 4, it would gain back the 125 yards and maintain the par 72 for the course.

The tee is rough shaped in
We will continue to work on the tee for the next few days and should have it sodded by next week.
