| The tee markers are on either side of the player. |
A player is only allowed to tee up the golf ball at the beginning shot of the hole. There is a specific area for a player to tee up the ball called "the tee box" and inside that tee box a play must tee the ball up inside "the tee markers". The advantage of teeing up the ball, is the ball is higher up and it makes for a cleaner hit because it is less friction because your club isn't hitting the ground. The ball should be teed up with half of the ball above the club face, and half under. Teeing up the ball is a big advantage that some people do not take advantage of. Tiger Woods said that players should tee up the ball every single time they're on the tee box. Teeing up just leads to a better hit.
If you weren't teeing it up before, try it out. Good Luck!
Cool advice. I will definitely try out.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that you were allowed NOT to tee up the ball when you started a hole. Are there golfers who do this? why would they do it?
ReplyDeleteOn par 3 holes that are very short and you are using a iron instead of a driver than sometimes players don't use a tee. I guess they don't tee it up because they are used to hitting the ball directly off the grass instead of a tee, but I like it on the tee and I always tee it up whenever Im allowed to.
ReplyDeleteare there any advantages to just hitting it off the ground?
ReplyDeleteIf your hitting with an iron it may be smart to just hit it off the ground, right?
