tee box

Question
hi iam 66 yrs old and i  shoot in the high 90s , my son and friends are in there 30s and 40s , my driving distance is only about 190 yds we usually play from the white tees.should i move up to another tee box , since i get out diven, by 50 to 100 yds.



                                      thank you

Answer
Tom,

thank you for the question.  I would say most definitely you should move up.  the tee boxes are mean't just for this reason.  At a driving distance of 190 yards it must be very difficult for you to reach some of the par 4's in two.  Move up and you'll have more fun.  After all golf is a game and you should have fun and enjoy competing with your son.  Try to choose a tee box that is 5300-6000 yards and you will be playing closer to the same game. Good luck and have fun.
