Imagine standing on the 18th tee box. It’s a reachable par 5 if you can hit a great tee shot. A great driver sets you up to hit on in two and maybe end the day with an unlikely eagle. Or worst case, a short birdie putt to finish the round. The problem is that it requires …
Have you ever heard of ball flight laws when it comes to playing golf? My guess is probably not. They aren’t the most common topic to discuss over food and drinks on the 19th hole.

A proper setup can be fairly complex, but once you get everything in the correct position, you can pretty much forget about it …
If you can hit a 3 wood off the deck you have a serious advantage over most amateur players. Hitting fairway woods with consistency can help you reach par 5’s in two and allow you to save more shots around the course. Not only will it help save you strokes, it can give you an enormous …
