Frame The Hole To Shape Your Shot By Tom Stickney Tom Stickney - A Top 100 Golf Teacher Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher

If you play number 12 at the Nicholas golf course you'll kind of encounter something that looks a little bit like this you'll see an elevated tee you'll see the fairway down below and you kind of have to squeeze the ball you know from left to right in order to shape the shot with the hole. So a couple things I want to make sure that you do number one we want to audit the tee height we need to make sure that this ball is teed up as high as possible the higher we tee the golf ball the more we're going to carry the golf ball. The higher we hit it in the air and the easier it is for us to obviously make sure we reach that fairway because we do know that we have a long carry in front of us.

The 2nd thing we want to do is we want to make sure that we play the hole the way it's designed we want to make sure that we hit aim at the left side of the fairway and try to hit a little cut shot in there because that A is the shortest particular distance from the elevated tee to the fairway and B it gives us the highest probability to shape the ball with the particular hole. So we've done 2 things number one we've teed the ball higher number 2 we're going to aim down the left side and we're going to try to hit a little cut shot. So in order to do so we're a my body a little bit left or am our clubface a little bit more kind of where we're trying to go and then we're going to swing along our body line trying to leave the face a little bit right of the path. Here we go and you can see that ball is moving a little bit left or right it's staying up in the air a good ways and now we're in the fairway and now we're poised and ready to our 2nd shot down the fairway and give that position so we can make par.
