Tee time的意思

"Tee time" is a term used in golf to refer to the scheduled time at which a group or individual is supposed to start their round of golf. The term comes from the act of teeing off, which is the first shot of a hole played from a tee box. Tee times are typically booked in advance and are used to manage the flow of play on the golf course, ensuring that there is a safe distance between groups to avoid congestion and to maintain the pace of play.

When someone says they have a tee time at 8:00 a.m., for example, it means they are scheduled to start their round of golf at 8:00 a.m. and should be ready to tee off at that time. Golfers are usually expected to arrive at the course a little before their tee time to prepare, such as by checking in at the pro shop, getting their clubs, and warming up if desired.

Tee times can be booked by individual golfers, small groups, or even large groups for special events like charity tournaments. Many golf courses offer tee times online, over the phone, or through a reservation system, and they may have different time slots available depending on the day and the course's schedule.
