Eliminate the sentences by doing so

When most high handicappers go up to the Tee box, they are really not thinking where they are getting their ball – and this is a big mistake. Tee box is the only place in the course where you fully check every variable about your lie and position, so it is best to take advantage of it.

One way to do this is from always Raising on the side of the Tee box, where there are problems. This may seem counterintou, but by doing so, you can give yourself a better angle to target FAR by trouble.

“If I stand on the right side of the Tee box. All I see is (outside the borders on the left),” Shaw says. “And if I stand on the left side of the Tee box, all I see is beautiful beautiful.”

By rising to the side of the Tee box where there is trouble, you can essentially turn your back on the penalty areas or outside the borders and strike away from it. Whereas if you are on the opposite side you are actively hitting TO The problem.

“This is taking trouble from the game and giving me a chance to stay in the game so I can hit my future goal,” Shaw says.
