Hitting It High, Long And True

[Spoff]

For a variety of reason's I've not touched my clubs in about six weeks. Albeing well I am playing a new course tomorrow so though I better go to the range.

If anyone needs a confidence boost I advise finding a two tier range and going up stairs

I was pleased with how well I was striking the ball and hitting the ball from high up obviously hightened the flight and distance but man I feel good!!!

Hopefully I can keep the confidence for tomorrow and hit the ground running.

I think the holes that I enjoy playing more than any other are the elevated tee to the low green. (shame we don't have any)

As I say it's a new course tomorrow so no idea if there are any elevated tees.

Fingers crossed though.

My usual courses sadly don't have any either.

Conversely, there is nothing more depressing than standing on the tee looking straight into the side of a hill. Last hole at Pinner Hill you just hit your driver straight into the hill. It goes nowhere.

Or when you get on the flat and cream a drive that doesn't go as far from the elevated tee's, it brings you back down to earth with a bump!

will have to try that. Have enjoyed the wonders of playing the first 5 holes at Penrhos G&CC one year for a week & 4 out of those first 5 are straight upwards.

Nothing worse than facing a 450+ yard hole with an uphill drive knowing you are going to be short and have it all to do.

Theres a really high tee at st fillains loch earn, it sure makes you feel good as does one at comrie lol.

When I face uphill shots I just Drive as usual and accept it as I know everyone else has the same problem, chose the right club for your shot to the green and you will have an advantage over all those who feel a little depressed at their tee shot, who often under or over club with the next..

the par 3 9th at panshangar is interesting. it feels like you're trying to drop one onto the castle keep from outside the gates.
