This ball is still tied for the longest ball Golden Tee has ever made. It’s described to have “ultimate distance, with more distance on straighter shots, and less spin control for curve shots”.  As you can tell from the graph, distance is about all you’ll get, making sacrifices on backspin/roll and curved shots. *Only available […]

Sand Saver Savior: This set is built for those who might battle tougher lies on a more regular basis.

Cutting chip shots

By • Updated: Aug 1st, 2010 • Category: Chipping, Features

Here’s a bit more advanced concept that, as usual, requires some practice — but, once you start to get the feel for it, you’ll be able to save yourself a stroke or two per round! Some pros use this concept on a regular basis for their chipping into sloped greens, but for us amateurs, there […]


Master the “In Between”

By • Updated: Jun 19th, 2010 • Category: Approach shots with irons, Features

It happens every round — you’ve put yourself in a situation where clubbing down and hammering a shot won’t quite get there, but clubbing up and hitting a smooth thumb shot goes too far.  I think this is one area where the casual player can make big gains on the scoreboard with a little smarts […]


Hole-by-hole write-ups revised and updated!

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: 2009 - Golden Tee LIVE 2010

I took a couple hours this week to go through the write-ups for each hole, revising them and adding more suggestions and strategies as I’ve seen fit.  I strongly suggest you take some time soon also to go back and review the analysis for each hole, because you might still pick up a thing or […]


How the elements are affecting your distance

By • Updated: Oct 31st, 2011 • Category: Features, Golden Tee golf clubs, Hitting out of rough lies

With the introduction of the dynamic distance indicator in Golden Tee Live 2010, players now get to see how differing conditions affect the distance of any particular shot.  The amount of rain in combination with the lie of your ball triggers a formula that calculates the number you see on the distance marker with any […]

Alright – we’re quite a ways into 2010, and maybe you’re looking to expand your Golden Tee experience beyond stroke play.  Maybe you and your friends are ready to quit worrying about the blowup holes that ruin your round.  Maybe you are ready to put your focus on each hole individually instead of your score […]


Equipment for the Longest Drives

Want to blast 400+ yard drives?  Sure, you can do it with stock clubs and balls with the right conditions and proper A1/C3 technique, but obtaining the right equipment is one way to automatically add 50 yards or more off the tee.  Let’s break it down, starting with the longest drivers amongst all the available […]


How Great Shot Points are calculated

By • Updated: Jan 20th, 2010 • Category: Statistics

Ever wonder how GSPs are calculated? All I used to know is that if I hole out from 300 yards, I get 30,0xx GSPs, but where does the xx come in? Fractions of a yard? Possibly I guess. More importantly, I wondered how they were calculated when you land within 5 feet, let’s say from […]

How virtual balls actually PUTT differently

By • Updated: Jan 13th, 2010 • Category: Putting

I was oblivious to this fact during my first two years of playing, but then during a discussion I was reading about a comparison of the different balls available in 2010, I learned that you’ll actually see a difference on the green based on what balls you’re using! So here’s the deal: any balls known […]


The Gamer 2.0 is here!

UPDATE — The Gamers are here!  So what does everyone think?  I’ve rounded up the opinions of many and here is a summary of how best to describe them: DISTANCE — Players seem to have more “feel” with these Gamer v2s, allowing them more distance control on thumb shots (especially when taking off distance).  Compared […]


New Category — GTF Featured Holes!

By • Updated: Jan 12th, 2010 • Category: Featured Holes, Features

Every week or two, I’d like to put focus on a specific hole that may be giving some of us lesser players some difficulty.  For most of these, I’ll pose the question to the pros in the GT community to see how they are attacking the specific hole, and then I’ll bring the results to […]


Skip it like a pro

By • Updated: Dec 21st, 2009 • Category: Features, Miscellaneous

A fellow GT’er emailed me a while back asking for tips on how to skip the ball across the water, and I figured this would be a good opportunity to break down the variables that determine whether or not you’ll safely skip across or see your ball sink to the bottom!  Golden Tee has done […]


Get to know the X-22s and Distance Balls!

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: 2009 - Golden Tee LIVE 2010, Features, Golden Tee golf balls, Golden Tee golf clubs

For most of my 2+ year Golden Tee career, I’ve had the pleasure of playing almost every round with the “old birds” — the 2005 hybrid set.  These clubs are preferred by a large percentage of players because they provide a nice set of distance gaps and have a lob wedge, and in general the […]

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: 2009 - Golden Tee LIVE 2010

After playing several rounds this year, people started to realize that there are tee boxes on many holes that you will NOT get during Advanced Play, but you may get them during Casual Play!  Most of these tee boxes make the hole MUCH easier, even giving the player a full stroke advantage on a hole […]
