How to play from an elevated tee
In the latest episode of his instruction series, elite coach and YouTube star Dan Whittaker met with NCG at Trump International Golf Links to take us through what to do when faced with an elevated tee shot.
Dan explains:
Most amateurs I see when faced with an elevated tee shot have the ball not far enough forward in their stance and want to hit down on the ball. We want to hit up on the ball to launch it as high as possible.
You want to get that feeling of tilting your body to the right, and make sure the bottom of the arc feels like it’s behind the ball. That means you will then hit up on the ball rather than down.
