got ya but that is not what the "challenge mop" is designed for.... I ran some ctp's with the challenge tees and found it to be desirable but some challenge tees not good  for ctp so might be best to pick 9 out of the 18 that suits your particular needs. Got to remember what the  mop was designed for in the first place. in the real world any closest to the pin contests are held on par 3's...

I used to play OGT's tournaments, so I completely understand.  There are many that have played only the PGLS tournaments.  I am in no way trying to sling mud at either PGLS or OGT, I just think its important for people to realize that there is a difference between the CTP and challenge tees.

 

One interesting note, course forge gives you challenge tees automatically on the par 3s.

 

Anyway, its up to how the designer sets the tees up as to whether or not they will work in the CTP challenges.

 

Thanks for your relentless review efforts of the past... that said, are you not doing beta testing anymore?

Challenge tees, Kids, tees, or tees that can be used for CTP should never have trees blocking the shot.

I totally 100 % disagree with Challenge tees not having a tree blocking the line of sight to pin. The shot difficulty is the whole concept behind the the mop, hence the term "Challenge". As mentioned above, variety is the key to a good challenge tee set up. I am not saying that all 18 pins should be blocked by trees. That being said they shouldn't be all in the fairway either not much of a challenge  or departure from other mops. like i said above there are great examples made by PP to check out that have a good mix. If you do not know how to work the golf ball, or control the trajectory of ball flight then you probably won't do well in anything entitled challenge tee.

Agree that trees can be part of it but works best on the unlimited CTP. I enjoy the variety for that at OGT. Sometimes forced to hit a high cut lob wedge at 55 degree launch angle to get it close.
