TEE IT FORWARD on the I-70 Rocky Mountain Golf Trail - Vail, Colorado to Moab, Utah
(June 2011) This is a first! A golf trail vacation named after a U.S. Interstate highway with a special focus on women golfers and forward tees. But for those planning a trip to the Rockies this summer, the directions are easy: fly to Denver and head west on Interstate I-70. Drive for almost two hours through Summit County and over the Vail Pass into Eagle County. When you get to Vail - stop! That's where my I-70 Rocky Mountain Golf Trail begins. Read More about why Nancy Berkley says - TEE IT FORWARD on the I-70 Rocky Mountain Golf Trail - Vail, Colorado to Moab, Utah - Parts I and II
The beauty of the Vail Valley and the areas on the western slopes of the Rockies approaching Grand Junction bring me back year after year, not only for the sheer beauty but for the golf as well. But last summer I had a special goal. I wanted to play the area's public courses from the forward tees and provide a play-ability and enjoy-ability guide for women golfers visiting the area. (The forward tees are sometimes called "ladies tees" or "red tees," but I am going to use "forward tees" throughout this article because more and more courses are selecting tee names that denote distance rather than gender.)
My mission was also prompted by my conviction that the forward tees on most golf courses are just too long and hard for female recreational golfers. Basically, many forward tees discourage women from playing more golf.
