15 Tee renovation

Before pictures of the 15 forward tee

The existing tee was layed out in a manner that the left side of the forward tee was in the landing area of a slightly errent shot from the 16th tee. The new tee will reorient the layout of the tee more perpendicular with the hole closer to the cart path and out of harms way.
