Choose a club you love on the first tee. #golf #golfshorts
For your first hole, it’s always key to pick a club for success. On a shorter par4, like the tent at the Golf Club of Houston, you don’t have to hit driver, but for me, driver is a strength. It’s got the biggest club face in the bag, and I like to swing hard when I’m nervous. So, I pull the driver and I pike this right down the middle. That always feels good in a tournament round. But now, the real grind of tournament golf begins. We start with a tucked back right pin, a sucker pin that’s just asking you to fire at it and make a mistake. Luckily, I know better. We’ll shade slightly left of the pen. So, when I accidentally push this, I still almost find the green. I end up just on the apron. And an easy two putt later, we’ve got a par to start the tournament, just like we drew it up on the good miss. We like easy pars.
