What term does the instructor use for tees closest to the green?

• A. Forward tee
• B. Back tee
• C. Middle tee
• D. Proximity tee

Answer: (A)

In golf, the tees closest to the green are called forward tees. They sit toward the front of the teeing area, shortening the hole and making the approach more manageable for players who want a shorter overall distance or an easier shot into the green. This term contrasts with back tees, which are farthest from the green and increase the hole’s length and challenge, and middle tees, which are intermediate in distance. A term like proximity tee isn’t part of standard golf vocabulary.
