GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK

No law of golf says that you must use your driver from the tee. If you don’t feel comfortable with your driver, go with your 3-wood. If your 3-wood doesn’t feel right, go to the 5-wood. And if you still aren’t happy, try your 3-iron or a hybrid club. Don’t hit until you’re confident that you can hit the ball into the fairway with the club that’s in your hands.
