As a HIGH handicap golfer, I NEVER play from the tips. What if not playing from the tips is actually hurting me instead of helping me? In this 9 hole video, I played the last 3 holes with the golfer who had the tee time in front of me. He told me why he doesn’t play from any tee box except for the tips and it made sense. Please watch this video and see whether I played better from the white tee box or from the blue tee box (the tips).

And he’s just like you know what I don’t play from the whites because it’s not really helping me any like it’s not really you know it’s not challenging him or making his game grow so I was like well if you play from the tips I’ll play
From the tips too so I played the last three holes from the tips and surprisingly I all right back golfers what’s going on we’re about to get 18o well you know what we’re going to play nine if I make it through the back nine because let’s
Be honest I gotta meet my wife somewhere um but if I can get through that then I’ll play all 18 if not nine holes is what you’re going to see this morning here at Concordia golf course and uh it’s a windy one that’s why I got the
Wind screen on but uh let’s go let’s tea off all right not bad for a first swing of the day went pretty much uh nowhere uh I forgot my H4 shot scope H4 tracker so I have no idea what my distances are today so we’re going to play this that’s
All by feel today oh yeah boohoo didn’t make the Fairway happy to just be out this morning Another one not too far just testing the limits of my swing this morning all right so far so good two decent shots that was a little crazy and dirty make sure we get it there that’s
All got it there got a good look at bogey just missed it okay double to start the day it’s not horrible we’ll do better next one all right just got to punch out is in a precarious sitam ification okay it play shoot okay see it bouncing to the left not
Bad I didn’t hit it too far didn’t make the green the way I needed to that is okay come back oh not not bad at all need a marker come on marker where’s my marker I have no marker all right no marker which means I’m not pulling it putting it dirty ball and
All all right all right so we got back to back doubles on on the uh on hole number one and hole number two it’s all good warming up man I might only get nine holes today anyway it’s a little slow in front of me I got a feeling any second
Now the wife is going to call like yo time to come home dog that’s how she says it too time to come home dog if you know my wife oh Lord no that’s not how she talks that Drew a little more than I expected but uh should find it on a hill
Somewhere I’m also on a down slide no definitely don’t want to go right if I go right I’m wet all day long sit all right wow I don’t know what I was thinking okay moving on you stink yes I do a lot of wind up there but still a decent strike
Oh come back down the hill come back down yes got to come back down got to come back down all right was going to be close like I said happy with the bogy on this one never issue with a boy my guy is still out there I’d like to play with
Him eventually pass him not good not bad just short of the green a I was afraid it was going to go too far to the left that stinks oh Budd so close all right back to back Bogies it’s a better Trend than back toback doubles hitting a crazy hook I don’t
Think it’s a draw it’s definitely a hook going to hit a six iron why I don’t know seems right to me Okay pretty good strike not where I wanted it to go right that six iron was a little too much I cooked it baby now I got to go back to the green over this bunker I said over the bunker not in it okay that’ll get you close to the hole Oh boy really hurts that one hurts thought I read it right but I didn’t read it right at all yeah I’m just I’m not that good of a player yeah see yeah as long as it’s straight Thanks not quite almost Nice nice course I think the North recently uh South is more like Parkland style whereas the north is more like but the north just seems so beautiful hopefully I’ll find it way out in the trees somewhere see oh did it I’m so used to playing the whites Nice Shot wow over the
Green oo too fast way too fast another bogey yeah that’s what I aim for too I want bogeys if I get a par I’ll be happy but pretty far out right it’s not near there is it oh thank you hope it didn’t go near them no okay no get over get over get
Over okay thank you would you yeah oh so close [Laughter] ah first so good yeah and no nope no par thank you enjoy thanks for the thanks for the tips too any advice I appreciate it all right guys I just finished up the front nine I’m not going to be able to
Do my thing on the back nine not going to happen today wifey already hit me up said it’s it’s time to go we got an appointment at 12:30 so I’m out of here but uh anyway I enjoyed it as you can see in this video the last three holes
It was a slow day so the last three holes uh the guy that was in front of me i w up just playing with him because he was slowed up by groups in front of him and uh he was playing from the uh the tips and he’s just like you know what I
Don’t play from the whites because it’s not really helping me any like it’s not really you know it’s not challenging him or making his game grow so I was like well if you play from the tips I’ll play from the tips too so I played the last three holes from the tips and
Surprisingly I think I did better from the tips than I did from the white te box today I don’t know this game was crazy man this game will drive you nuts but anyway I had a good time I appreciate the tips and advice that he gave me about just not trying to swing
Out of your socks and just you know just trying to get straight he’s trying to break 90 I’m still on a path to try to break 100 it’ll happen just got to keep working on the mental side of the game oh and by the way on that last hole oh
My God I got a double I shouldn’t have got a double but what a bad score today I played pretty bad I had so many double bogeys I just I don’t know but you know it didn’t feel like I was playing that bad so just some little minor areas
Probably where I have to clean up got to hit good t- shots for sure but uh yo enjoyed it as always love this game you guys know what to do have fun playing golf look good while you’re doing play bad I’ll catch you guys in the next play
Bad golf video thank you Cordia bye

You should play from the reds occasionally, too. It can take the pressure of needing to hit it far off of your mind and let you swing easier. Helps me focus on making shots and smarter decisions.
Hit me up if you wana golf the next 8 days. Im off! I need a few courses by ya
This is something everyone goes through when they start getting better. Im a 6 handicap and to get better this winter i am playing from the front tees only. This is advice given by Bryson. Last winter I did the whole winter with only 4 clubs.
Not playing tips till im scratch in other countries Japan and Great Britain especially you have to be a registered scratch or better to be allowed to play their tips.
You got the desire and a good atitude….skill will come in time!
that guy's a savage for rolling his cart on the last green
In our group of old guys that have lost yardage over the years decided to move up to the forward tees, our level of enjoyment has been amazing. Yes, we lost some HCP but who cares when you are having fun. it is rewarding to be on in regulation. In our amazement we will see the younger ego minded players ( high handicappers) play from the tips launching the ball 145 yds OB or topping it with a 40 yd rollout. There are articles that state ( if you can;t drive the ball over two hundred yds. ) you should be playing from the forward tees. Thanks for the vid.
Playing from the tips is really dependent on forced carries . And which clubs are the most effective in your bag . I wish I had your demeanor especially while playing a round of golf .
Absolutely not. Play the tees according to your skill level.. If you can't break 90 you have no business playing from the back tees, and should be playing the forward tees. White tees if you can break 90, to trying to break 80. Back tees are for single digit handicap and highest skill level players.
Me play from the tips*LOL* I usually play from the Red or White tees. Depends on the course.
You should play the tee box by your driver distance (Driver distance x 28 = your total yards you should play) Example: mine is 250 x 28 = 7000, so i will pick the tee box color under 7000. I play blue tees most of the time because the courses around me are around 6400-6800 for blues, when courses get up towards 6800-7000, I tend to struggle even though my range is 7000 ( I like 6800&under) so I will drop down to white tees. No Offense, but you weren't really playing true "tips" Those where short par 4's for tips (375 yds). Take your Average drive distance x 28 to get your total yards and use that for tee box, then drop down if you struggle. For people reading my comment about my tee box advice it is for a golfer that can constantly hit the ball and not chunk it or top it every iron hit, if it takes 6-8 strokes to get on or around green on a par 4, then you need to play front tees :). Good content keep it up!
Great video and love the positivity! Would love to play a round with you next season. Keep at it, can’t wait for your Breaking 100 vid
tips..if its a short course.. less than 6700 imo
NEVER!!!!
Great video. FYI you can use anything artificial as a ball marker. So your shoe, phone or even a club. So if you forget your normal ball marker anything man made will work
Keep up the hard work
Use your body more on chip shots; less hands
Ball will spin more
Doesn't matter what you shoot or how far your drive goes…play from the mens t's if you a real man.
If you're geriatric or a kid or a lady, play from wherever.
Heck no. It’s ok to be bad, but be bad fast. Great video my friend.
