How to play a red, white and blue golf tournament?
Updated December 04, 2019. In a Red, White and Blue golf tournament, golfers begin by teeing off from the middle tees. When they bogey a hole, they play the next one from the forward tees, and when they birdie a hole they play the next hole from the back tees. A par results in sticking with the middle tees.
What colors are used in golf?
Many golf courses today have more than three teeing grounds, and there aren't nearly as many courses today still using the traditional red, white and blue colors to represent forward, middle and back tees.
What hole does Jose play in?
Jose tees off on the par-4 Hole No. 1 from the middle tees, because all golfers begin with the middle tees (or white tees, traditionally). He scores a 6, a double bogey. So on the No. 2 teeing ground, Jose moves up and plays from the forward tees. And he makes a birdie this time.
