Blind Shot Buddy
Keep blind tee shots safe — and pace of play moving
On some holes the tee shot is blind. Players on the tee can’t see if the group ahead is still in range. That leads to dangerous shots into the fairway, shouted warnings, delays while groups wait “just in case,” and frustrated members who feel stuck or unsafe. Blind Shot Buddy is a course-side traffic light system visible from the tee. When the group ahead is clear, they press a button — the light turns green. After teeing off, players reset it to red for the next group.
How it works:
Light on tee is Red
Default state — players on the tee wait. The fairway ahead is treated as not clear.Group ahead clears
Once safely past the danger zone, they press the green button — light on tee turns GREEN.Tee group hits
Players on the tee see green and know it’s safe to tee off.Reset to Red
After teeing off, they press the tee-side button so the next group waits until the fairway is clear again.
Why Golf Clubs install it:
Safer rounds — fewer tee shots into groups you can’t see.
Better pace of play — groups aren’t waiting longer than they need to, or guessing.
Simple for members — no apps, no radios, no training course. Red means wait. Green means go.
Works on problem holes — designed for blind or semi-blind tee shots where sightlines fail.
Low operational load — once installed, players run it themselves every time they play the hole.
Professional club image — shows you’re actively managing risk on known hazard holes.
