It’s here!  After years of playing offline recording scores only tracked on your home machine (and then losing those scores when you want to upgrade), Golden Tee has introduced online play for home units!  During April and May 2013, I’ve explored and enjoyed the luxury of having my games saved against my Golden Tee account, […]

This hole is probably never drivable, but there’s potential to get a shorter chip shot by cutting a big drive over to the left fairway past the sand to leave a straight-in chip. Here’s a hole-out from the end of the first fairway. VIDEO DEMO

From one of the front boxes, this hole can potentially be drivable!  From the closest box, you’ll have the distance, but the trees will pose an issue.  Your best bet is from the second-closest box — with a nice wind at the green, you can play anywhere from a fairly straight shot to a C3-type […]

The play is almost always straight down the fairway to the right — you should have plenty of club to get there in two.  A driver can work nice to minimize the effect of wind and slope — this one was played nicely and found the hole. Use either backspin, bite, or nothing with the […]

You may have to carry 340 or more to reach the green if you play out to the left fairway.  It can be done sometimes, but you also don’t want to get wet trying, and you’ll have to put extra emphasis on your drive to be as far right as possible.  It’s worth consideration sometimes […]

Here is a fantastic low-teed driver cut through the gap and into the hole.  This one came in pretty hot after a big hop and an out-wind but still found the hole! If the wind is blowing hard left, you may need to rotate another click left and play more of an A2-type shot instead […]

Some guys have gotten close to driving the green here, at least getting close enough for a short chip shot.  Check out this insane long drive.  Don’t expect these results, but check out how this high-teed driver skipped the water with a tailwind! It’s never a bad option to lay up behind the sand straight […]

This hole is also rarely drivable given a fantastic setup — check out this fantastic ace! Here’s a long hole-out after a short lay-up drive.  And here’s a 9-wood hole-out after finding a safe spot in the fairway off the tee.

This par 3 can be really tough, especially with a bad wind and/or if you have the back box.  Sometimes it’s best to work a very small-cut driver against the wind/slope to hold the green.  Here’s an awesome 3-wood dunk from the back box. Here’s a one-hopper from the front-right box.  This 7-wood found the cup […]

Most of the time, you’ll be trying to hit a low-lofted shot through the hole in the bottom of the tree.  However, it’s very easy to miss high and ram right into it.  The trick is to try to land your ball well short of the green, because you’ll get a lot of bounces downhill […]

Here’s a tough par 5 that can be really difficult to reach in two.  It often takes two great shots.  Here are your options off the tee: 1) If you have the distance, blast it straight ahead through the fairway into the rough by any means possible.  This gets you a pretty straight look into […]

Here’s a nice 3-wood from the back right box that carried the green and found the cup.  And this driver curved around the left to suck back into the hole! This driver from the back-center box caught a nice little hop towards the cup. Here’s a 5-wood from the middle box that caught some nice […]

A short while ago, I had an amazing cycle going.  It started with a -24 on Coconut, followed by a -24 on Jackrabbit.  Then I shot GT Par -26 on Bear, followed by a -25 on Cape Haven.  At this point I’m -99 after only 4 games!  My previous high cycle had been -117, so […]

If you’ve read up on some of my articles discussing the anatomy of the trackball (like this one), then you know that you can sometimes run into issues shooting forwards towards 3.  Hitting a “spinny” C3 certainly helps off the tee, and using thumbs for putting out to 3 can help when on the green. […]

Many new and amateur players still lose a lot of strokes on hard left-breaking putts, especially right-handed palm putters.  I used to be the same way, and it really got in my head.  If I had a 40-foot left 9 putt, I was pessimistic before I even attempted it, because I knew I’d miss it […]

I had always wondered how sensitive the trackball was in measuring distance relative to the speed of your follow-through on the trackball, so I set up this experiment: I wanted to see how many different distances I could hit a driver without pulling the ball back.  I printed out a grid containing all numbers from […]

I always knew that B1 and B3 shots came back towards center, but I was never completely sure how much.  I also thought that lower-lofted clubs should cut back to center more than higher-lofted clubs, but how much — what would it really look like? These experiments were conducted with the Flares and Hurtles as […]

With the luxury of a Golden Tee Home Edition, I was finally able to compare club-for-club how tee height and spin affect your distance off the tee.  This article will show you how much distance you can expect to gain or lose with each of these options. First, let me explain how I set up […]

I’ve gone through two upgrades since obtaining the Golden Tee 2012 Home Edition, and both have been simple, painless, and exciting!  Here’s what to expect from the standard yearly software update: You’ll receive a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) to upgrade your memory to 1GB, but if the serial number of your machine is above […]

My game is in my basement, and my home computer network (router and modem) are upstairs.  For me, the best option was to configure a wireless ethernet bridge to get my Golden Tee home edition online. There are simpler versions available, but I went to Radio Shack and found a NETGEAR Universal Dual Band WiFi […]
