Golf tees - the area from which players hit their first shots at every hole - have for decades been split into separate ones for men, women and competition events.
At many clubs, the men tees are coloured blue, women red and competition black or yellow. Some clubs retain the traditional labels of "gentlemen" and "ladies" tees. "It's about matching people up with their ability rather than their gender," Damien De Bohun, Golf Australia's general manager clubs and facilities, told 9News.The sport of golf is set for a major shake-up with the scrapping of teeing grounds based on gender.
In competitions, players at the start of their round can select which tee to play from, according to their ability. Their score will then be adjusted based on the sport's handicap system.
