Bump-and-run chips

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Chipping

These shots in Golden Tee give you the best chance of holing out a chip. If you are in the fringe and only have green in front of you, it’s definitely a great tip to pick a less-lofted club like a 5-iron to punch and run the ball to the hole. There are two big […]


Lofty chips

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Chipping

When shooting out of a bunker, over a bunker, or any other shot where you need carry into the green, use a wedge to get that loft. The problem with lofty clubs in Golden Tee, as mentioned above, is that they are affected much more by wind and green slope. The best tip towards trying […]


Club selection for fringe chips

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Chipping

So which club should you use for fringe shots onto the green in Golden Tee? Well, much like real golf, the best tip is to pick the club that you think can carry the ball onto the green from the fringe, and you want to utilize as much roll as possible.


Chipping with slope

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Chipping

It’s very important to factor in the slope on your chip in Golden Tee. The best tip is to try to visualize where your ball will land after wind takes its toll, and then take slope into account also. Slope also affects a short, high chip much more than you think it would, so even […]


Chipping with wind

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Chipping

You won’t believe me until you really see it, but wind plays a very big factor during chip shots in Golden Tee. Being so close to the pin, you wouldn’t think that the wind would blow chip shots off track, but it really does! A tip I use often times is to rotate my golfer […]


Chipping distance

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Chipping

On most chips in Golden Tee, you’re close enough that you won’t be able to crank the trackball forwards – these become true “feel” shots. If your wedge goes 50 yards, you’ll have to get a feel of how hard to shoot the trackball so you can execute chips of 40, 30, and 20 yards […]

Following are some tips on bad situations to use roll in Golden Tee: When you’re driving up or down hill – you’ll want carry on each of these shots, so avoid topspin, which decreases the trajectory.

Bad situations to use backspin

By • Updated: Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Backspin, roll and bite

Following are some tips on bad situations to use backspin in Golden Tee: When the pin is at the back of the green – this means there’s really no room behind the pin, so you’ll probably either land it in the rough behind the green (where it won’t roll back), or you’ll land it by […]

GT Par

By • Updated: Sep 21st, 2008 • Category: Miscellaneous

You may hear this term every now and then, and it’s a good gauge to measure exactly how well you shot on a particular round of Golden Tee. Because many of the par 4s are reachable in 1 and many of the par 5s are reachable in 2, the term GT Par was born. So, […]

Extra-long drives in Golden Tee

By • Updated: Sep 21st, 2008 • Category: Driving

I’m no expert on this subject, but I know about it from reading forums. The best Golden Tee players can crank out 400+ yard long drives with regularity, but I’m not one of them. The secret lies in the big-hooking A1 and C3 shots. If you can visualize a clear path where your drive can […]
