Ladies' tee and men's tee
Correct behavior in golf serves to ensure safety and a regulated course of play.
Which player tees off first in golf?
In amateur golf, the tee-off order on the first tee is always based on the handicap. The player with the best handicap tees off first. As the ladies' tee is usually further forward than the men's tee, the men usually tee off before the ladies, even if one or more ladies have a better handicap than the men. This is also the rule during the round of golf.
During this round, the golfer who has needed the fewest strokes on the last hole always tees off first. If the number of strokes is the same, the tee-off sequence of the previous hole is repeated. This playing and tee-off sequence is also used in professional golf. is also used in professional golf. However, as professional golfers do not have a handicap, the tee-off sequence on the first tee is drawn in advance or determined by the game management or the computer. In the subsequent rounds, teeing off is then usually based on the result, i.e. those with the most strokes start first and the best player finishes last.
