Ladies’ tees, or women’s tees, is a term that is used in the golf world for forward tees. When a golfer plays from the forward tee, it means that they are playing it at the shortest par length. The color associated with the “ladies’ tees” is red. The term women’s tees came into being when women used to play from the forward tees back in the day. Recently, Hailey Ostrom, Paige Spiranac’s fierce business competitor, shared her opinion about calling them women’s tees, and her aim to break the stereotypes.

Ostrom took to her Instagram to share what she thinks about the red tees while she displayed her stunning golfing skills. The fans were quick to shower her post with abundant attention and well-deserved support.

Calling forward tees “women’s tees or red tees” is not appropriate. Not all female golfers play from the red tee, and if so, female golfers are not the only ones playing from there. Forward tees are meant for beginner and junior golfers of any gender who are just starting out to play golf.

As mentioned on Golf Pass, in 2019, Yacht Country and Club changed the color of the tees to Roman numerals so that there is no stigma around the tees. It helped provide the golfers with an overall better experience.

In the video, which the 27-year-old professional golfer shared on her Instagram, she was dressed in a blue skirt with a purple top and a whales hat. At the beginning of her video, she said, “I don’t know what women’s tees are!” as she played the par-5 hole from the tip. When she concluded her video, her wise words were, “Who said forward tees are women’s tees?”

Ostrom’s post garnered a lot of attention and support from fans, and rightfully so! Let us look at some of the comments that fans left in support of the issue raised by Ostrom.
