When adding a new angled tee shot on a wooded hole, is it normal/acceptable that only about 1/3 of the tee pad will be used?
Example
A hole that is normally a basic righty hyzer/lefty flick from short tees. The lane is generous (20 feet or so)
For back tees, distance isn't an option, so moving the teepad slightly back but to the left will make the lane appear much more narrow and now the righty throws an anny flick and the lefy throws a backhand anny. Only the right side of this teepad (natural grass, cost isn't an issue) would be used because the left side faces into the trees. It looks kind of strange from the pad but the shot is fair, just more difficult.
