This golf course game is red or forward teas. So essentially whatever the

2
00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:09.680
furthest forward if your course has junior teas you could play those but

3
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:14.600
whatever your furthest forward tee box is you're gonna play 18 holes from that

4
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:19.880
tee box. What this will do is one of two things. It will show you that gaining

5
00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:23.800
that extra 20 yards that you think will make or break your game actually isn't

6
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:27.480
gonna have that big of an effect on your scoring. Secondly it's gonna put more

7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.640
pressure on your scoring clubs because you're typically gonna have a lot more

8
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:36.080
chances at birdie you're gonna typically have a lot more chances at you know

9
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:41.280
hitting drives that set you up for birdie so it forces you to be really good

10
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.570
and really skilled with your wedge play. The third thing that it does is that

11
00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:45.680
it

12
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:49.920
helps you get used to being in scoring position so it helps you get used to

13
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.760
possibly being four or five six under or if you're normally a bogey golfer it

14
00:00:54.760 --> 00:01:00.120
may help you get comfortable with being two three over. So play from the red

15
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:04.800
teas is a great thing to do especially a week or two before a tournament just

16
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:04.920
to

17
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:10.440
get you used to hey if I hit good shots this is as low as I can score it really

18
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:14.600
helps kind of shift your mindset into trying to make birdies and trying to go

19
00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:20.480
low as opposed to just trying to survive around and make lots of parts.
