As this average golfer watches another day of rain in the northeast, all I can do is count down the days to arriving in Pinehurst and watch some golf videos to hopefully keep some of the golf rust away before arriving in Pinehurst. Pinehurst spoils those of us fortunate to play there. Keeping the ball straight down the fairway off the tee almost always leads to a good score. If you look back at most bad holes, it generally always starts off the tee. So, no matter how you tend to shape your tee shot, here’s how Graeme McDowell compensates for the shape. Happy golfing from this average golfer!

Driving With Graeme McDowell
I recently had the pleasure of playing the Gold and Black courses at Tiburon in Naples, Florida. On the first day playing the Gold course, one of my average golfing buddies lost…are you ready for this….21 balls! Now in defense of his game, it was the third or fourth time he had golfed this year. On these courses, you have to be in the center of the fairway on your drive…left or right means big trouble…as experienced by my golfing buddy. So, while I didn’t lose any where near 21 balls, I did lose my share so thought it would be good to brush up on a good drive position video. Here’s a nice lesson from Graeme McDowell at Pinehurst…and by the way, my buddy did much better the second day at Tiburon on the Black course as he only lost 19 balls that day! Happy golfing from this average golfer!
