Ahh…the tee box, it’s where it all begins. We’ve all stood there, huddled on this scrap of grass while someone casually flips the tee to see who will take honors. It’s the prime setting for all pre-drive pageantry: the gloating, the waggling, the jeering. Then, a hush settles and it’s time to show and prove. But, like clockwork all those 300-yard drives you so humbly boast about don’t make an appearance. And as you aimlessly scratch your head and squint your eyes, looking for your ball in flight, there it lies with just enough gas to make it past the forward tees. Contrary to your belief that a faster swing speed directly correlates to bombing your ball farther down the fairway, The Green Magazine’s three helpful tips will ensure those 10-20 extra yards off the tee are yours for the taking. This fall it’s time to put the short knocker to rest and let the big dog eat…or something like that.

  • Drills: How To Shape Your Shots
    Golf isn’t simple. In a perfect world, each hole would consist of the linear, tee-to-green scenario. But, who would play such a monotonous game? In the real world players face holes with intimidating hazards, obtrusive tree-lines and severe dog-legs that require shots with a bit of ingenuity. More often than not, golfers find themselves in compromising situations. Duck-hooking a shot around a Pine or skyrocketing your ball over a Douglas Fir only for it delicately land on the putting surface takes practice.
