Hitting the ball far off the tee may be a desirable outcome for all golfers, but simply putting it in play is often far more important — especially when you’re faced with a narrow fairway and obstacles to the left and right.
A good strategy for hitting the ball straighter off the tee involves teeing the ball down about an inch off the ground. When you tee the ball high, there are more variations on the quality of contact you can make. Teeing it low ensures a lower margin for error and increased likelihood that you’ll hit the ball straight.
