Tee box position

  They really need to allow golfers the ability to change the position of the tee in the tee box. There have been plenty of times when I would have like the ability to move my tee position left or right. Bethpage Black hole 1 is a prime example. If you could move to the left side of the tee box, the dogleg would be easier to negotiate. I don't know if others agree, but it would be a nice upgrade.

  Consider the big picture.

  While it may be a nice feature, there is no need to allow players to change position on the tees. There are a lot of players good enough to shoot under 30/60 as it is.

  By leaving it the way it is, it is the same for everyone, and it's one less decision players have to make on each hole.

  That's a ridiculous argument! That's like having a race car with half an engine.  You're not getting maximum performance.  Driving the ball is an important factor in golf especially low scoring rounds.  Until this issue is resolved this game will always be inadequate.

  Great idea, but that would make the slow players even slower.

  That's a pretty narrow view. What if you simply want to move to a flatter spot in the box? Often times my feet are lower than the tee. In real golf you can tee up anywhere inside the box. Being able to do so here as well would be nice.
