00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.820
This golf course game is one foot in.

2
00:00:03.820 --> 00:00:07.260
So one foot in is kind of the complement to the red T's.

3
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:10.220
Red T's are going to play basically a shorter course

4
00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:11.700
and see how well you can score.

5
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:15.060
One foot in is the longest course that your club will allow.

6
00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:18.060
What that means is that on every T box,

7
00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:21.140
let's say I'm hitting towards the camera towards this way,

8
00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:24.740
I have to have one foot on the back side of the T box.

9
00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:26.740
So it's frequently done to get ready

10
00:00:26.740 --> 00:00:28.580
for playing a long course.

11
00:00:28.580 --> 00:00:32.880
We would do it from the back of the furthest back T box.

12
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.380
And it would just really force you

13
00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:37.140
to get used to playing everything stretched out

14
00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:37.940
as far as you can.

15
00:00:37.940 --> 00:00:40.500
And you'd see that your scores weren't that drastically

16
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.220
different from if you were playing the regular T's.

17
00:00:43.220 --> 00:00:45.660
So it helps you overcome the fear of playing

18
00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:47.300
too long of a course.

19
00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:48.100
Give it a try.

20
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:50.180
It's called one foot in.
