Golden Tees for Beginners
By Golden Tee Fan • Category: 2010 - Golden Tee LIVE 2011, Driving •Thanks again to Juan Schwartz for the info! Here’s a breakdown of how you should expect Golden Tees to work in Golden Tee 2011:
If you use a “high tee” your club will go one bigger club further, and one shorter club higher. For example, A high-teed 3-wood will go as far as a driver, and as high as a 5-wood. This will help when getting over trees and going a long way, such as hole #9 of Laurel Park. CAUTION!!! A high tee will have backspin or topspin reduced to 5-10% of what you’d see with a normal tee. Also, backspin still creates a bit more loft, and roll creates a bit less loft.
In reverse, a low tee will go one club shorter for length, and one club bigger for height. For example, a low-teed 3-wood will have the distance of a 5-wood with the height of a driver. This helps getting through the pyramid on Falcon Sands #14 (a 2-iron low tee topspin through the hole works often here). Expect backspin and roll to be increased 20-25% from what you’d see with a normal tee. Also, backspin still creates a bit more loft, and roll creates a bit less loft.
Go ahead and “waste” a tee off the first hole to get a feel of how much further a high tee will go. Then you’ll be ready when you need one .
Also, we recommend playing Hawks and Hurtles on ALL courses until you’re a 23 handicap or better consistently!
