Ladies Golf

Are the red tees supposed to be in front of the yellow tees? I always assumed that but when I played at Woolton GC the other day there were at least half a dozen tees where the reds were a good distance behind the yellows.

I played at Knebworth Golf Club for the first time on Tuesday and couldn't find the gents tee at the 11th hole, only the ladies red tee, until somebody told me it was quite a few yards in front of it. This is because that hole is a par-5 for ladies, but a par-4 for gents. Our club has green tees for elite ladies competitions which are generally further back than the yellows, and in some cases the whites as well. One of my friends accidentally teed off from the green tee markers during our Seniors Championship. We told him his shot could stand if he put a skirt on! (yes I know that is not in the rules!). He elected to play 3 off the correct tee. 😀
