Split Tees

A tournament starting format where groups begin simultaneously from both the first and tenth tees to accommodate large fields and optimize course utilization. Split tees help reduce overall playing time for tournaments while managing course capacity effectively. This format requires careful coordination by tournament staff to ensure groups maintain proper pace and don't interfere with each other when the nines converge. Split tees are common in member tournaments, charity events, and other competitions where large participation numbers require efficient course management and time considerations.
