Golf Equipment Story - Balls Vs Brawn
You are: 10 yards= 30 Feet 20 yard= 60 Feet Career Shot 50 yards = 150 feet further than your normal shot.
60 Feet = the distance your five year old is required to run to first base in pee wee league baseball after that tremendous 13 foot swinging bunt that you were so proud of because he (or she) actually hit the ball.
Closer to the hole from the tee is great, but lets face it, out driving your opponent by 20 yards is still only 60 feet. I am pretty sure that those of you that have kids can still throw a ball 60 feet to your child, and that is after you say, "go long". 20 yards off the tee, seems like a ton, most of you can throw that ball to your kid 60 feet without ever stepping foot outside of that small palace you call a home. So, lets examine 20 yards a little more...
60 feet
Lets say that again together, S I X T Y FEET. OH NO, A SIXTY FOOTER (which a lot of times qualifies for the "spot o' bother" we talked about last month).
Most of us amateurs have made putts that long, or longer. So why the heavy intensity to get off of the tee box that extra 60 feet. It only gets you 60 feet closer to the water hazard in front of you, 60 feet further from the fairway most of the time, or 60 feet into the bunker you did not want to be in from the tee box. When you really crank it up to intentionally get those extra 20 yards, more than likely, something goes amiss, and you put yourself in a spot o' bother more times than not. Therefore, lets get real, all of us amateurs. SIXTY FEET off of the tee box should NOT be our focus. 20 yards closer to the hole (sixty feet) on our approach shots to the green is where we should be focusing. If we would practice our chips and short irons properly, we would never have to face that dreaded 20 yarder for birdie, while we close our eyes and pray for par.
In a nutshell, distance is not everything, don't get me wrong here, distance is nice when you know what you are doing with it, sometimes extra distance can leave you in an incredible predicament.
Don't try to get the extra 20 yards of the tee, try to get the extra 60 feet closer with the wedge. Stick with me, I'll teach you how. We will talk about balls and clubs next time.
Until then keep it straight, give a little off the tee, and get a lot back on the greens.
