Tee Shot Strategy

Here are advanced tee shot strategies to help you hit smarter drives and set up better scoring opportunities:


1. Play to Your Strengths

  • Know your natural ball flight (fade, draw, or straight) and aim accordingly.

Cheers to the Toulon & Sons Small Batch Portrush

This week, the attention of the golfing public will be focused on Northern Ireland for the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club. I’ve attended a couple of U.S. Opens but traveling across the Atlantic to watch The Open in person would be amazing. That’s near the top of my bucket list.
