Scaling the Course
Advancing to Levels 6-10
Once Level 5 is completed , players have a solid base in golf ’ s fundamental forms and skills . From there , players may move on to Levels 6-10 .
Before beginning Level 6 , players should have an evaluation of their skills , including driver carry distance . With this information , please see the chart to the right to determine your recommended course length . On-course play and scoring requirements will be matched to the player ’ s carry distance throughout the program .
By playing a course that is “ scaled ,” every golfer will have the opportunity to reach Level 10 . Players reaching Level 10 have achieved the pinnacle of skills necessary to compete at the highest level .
Shooting Par or Below
To excel as a golfer , players must learn to shoot low scores . In order to do so , it is imperative to play the course from a length that matches the player ’ s driver distance . The Longleaf Tee System , shown to the right , provides you with the recommended course length and jointly promoted by the American Society of Golf Course Architects Foundation and U . S . Kids Golf Foundation .
