7 round-defining shots… and how to conquer them

1 Intimidating tee shot

There are three things I want you to think about in a situation like this. Firstly, tee height. I tend to use three different tee heights with driver: a lower one for a lower shot that’s good in the wind, mid-height for my stock fairway finder and a little higher for my ‘bombs away’ tee shot. You want to have roughly half the ball above the top of the driver at address and the ball level with your lead heel.

Secondly, having the ball forward in the stance can throw off your shoulder alignment, so make sure they’re pointing parallel to your target line and your lead shoulder is a touch higher than your trail
