How a Golf Tee can Improve your Practice

Abby Welch GolfLeave a comment

Are you sometimes frustrated on the range, hitting ball after ball and nothing is going well. Stop for a minute and grab a tee. Put it in the ground at its highest point and hit the ball. It will probably feel amazing. Hit another one. Get that confidence up. Then push the tee down a little bit. Hit another shot. Keep going. If you are hitting better off the tee, the tee is allowing you to make minor mistakes. These mistakes could be you have a little less tension in your shoulders bringing your club up a bit. You are collapsing your front arm a bit or you are picking up your posture. The tee is showing you that you are doing a lot of things well but there are some minor issues you will need to work on to get the tee down to the ground. But sitting on the range beating bad shots is not helping. A tee could help solve some of these problems and change your ball flight immediately.

Now, I don’t want you to consistently depend on the golf tee. It is a practice drill. Keep pushing the tee down when you make a shot. When you get down to a little bit, try hitting the ball off the grass. You might need to go back and forth between tee and ground but you are making progress and building your confidence this way. We all need some assistance sometimes, don’t feel like it’s a “cheating”, it is a tool to help you.

Happy February! January flew by of course but I am trying to stay on top of my tips for you this year. Therefore, here is your new blog for February 2024!

Let’s talk about something you all can do during those wintry days inside or outside! All you need is a bungee cord. Don’t worry if you don’t have one I am sure you can find something around the house such as a tension band, string, or even an alignment stick might work. Next step, find somewhere were you can tie each end to something such as columns, trees, etc. You are trying to make a line. Check out the video below to assist you. Next, pick which shot you want to practice: Full swing, pitching at 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 etc., or chipping. Place your string at the level you want to your backswing to stop. Place your body in the appropriate line to take that back swing. You might have to move around for the different lengths of swing so the club hits the cord. Then start your practice. Try not to hit the cord. When you are swinging start to feel the appropriate muscles you are using to ensure this type of backswing. These feelings should be more in your shoulders, core, and legs. Not your elbows and wrists.

Once you find this amazing space to practice it is an easy setup every time! Plus it can be used to practice various shots. It’s a win for your entire game!
