Lowering the Back Tee On the 1st Hole

There have been some concerns that a golfer playing the blue tees on the first hole could accidently hit someone in the Bistro with their ball. In order to prevent that from happening, there were two possible solutions:  First was to move the blue tee forward and eliminate the back tee. Golfers did not like the idea of shortening the golf course, even by a few yards. The other solution was to put up some short fences, hidden from view by some low shrubbery. The fences would stop any ball from hitting someone in the Bistro. The problem with doing this was that it would block the pro shop’s view of players coming down the 9^th fairway. The final solution was to lower the blue tee so that the fences and shrubs would be no higher than the blue tee is now.
