Dusty Bend — Hole #9: Par 5

By Deprecated: Function the_author_posts_link was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.1.0 with no alternative available. in /var/web/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6085 • Updated: Nov 22nd, 2011 • Category: Dusty Bend

Don’t hit your drive in the blacktop — it’s all out of bounds!  Instead, you’ll have to hit your drive straight out in the fairway, avoiding the sand.  Don’t get it too close to the fence either or your approach won’t clear it!  So the middle of the fairway, quite a ways down, is pretty […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 11th, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

You CAN go left around the house to cut some distance off your approach shot, but it’s usually not worth the risk unless you’re sure it’s an easy shot.  Sometimes it is if your tee box puts you in line with that gap, so take advantage of it if it’s there.  Here’s a hole-out from […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #11: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Dusty Bend

Here is a shorter par 3 that may test your skills curving a short iron into the wind.  There’s a lot of green to the right, and that’s the safe place to be.  Sometimes you’ll get a really favorable setup, so if you do, try to take advantage — here is a hole-out to a […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #12: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

This hole is fun — you’ll have all kinds of different shots here depending on your tee box and the wind.  The green is deceptively huge, so it’s important to get your shot close to the pin for a manageable putt. From the back left box, here is a high-teed 5-wood from the back left […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

The safest play is something like a high-teed 4-wood to the left side of the left fairway.  This fairway slopes right, so don’t be careless and let one trickle into the water!  At the same time, there’s a semi-hidden building behind what you’re hitting over.  Sometimes it’s directly in your line.  If you play a […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

You will be aiming over the barn to get to the second fairway here.  A high-teed 3-wood clears the barn easily.  If the wind is in your face, high tee a driver and take it just right of the tree between the barn and the house to land safely in the fairway ahead.  Even if […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #15: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

Two options here off the tee — in the demo, he goes over the top of the right tower with a high-teed 3-wood.  I haven’t confirmed this still works, but if it does, there you go! Another option is to rotate right once or twice and play a big, high-teed C3 driver over the building […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #16: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

Normally you’ll just hit your drive out to the right over the water and into the fairway.  Here’s a hole-out from the right side of the fairway after a nice drive.  If you go too far, you could find yourself in between clubs, so you may want to use backspin and lay back just over […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 9th, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

There are two greens here — one has you coming straight into the downslope, and one has you hitting into the green sloped hard to the left.  From the front, you’ve got water long (can’t be there), and dirt and road short (the better place to miss).  Also be careful not to miss on the […]


Dusty Bend — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Dusty Bend

A clever change from the beta version is the addition of a sign over the two buildings on your way to the green.  Now you have to think about elevation control.  Usually, you can take a 3-wood through the gap over the building and under the sign — a driver will not clear the building […]


Sign Up for League Play on the GTF Tour!

By • Updated: Jul 25th, 2011 • Category: Contests and prizes, Features, Upcoming Tournaments

It’s happened to all of us — we pay that extra dollar to give Prize Play a shot, shoot a great score of about 5 strokes better than average, but still end up out of luck in 21st place.  Wouldn’t you like a chance to have your handicapped scores pitted against others with a REAL […]


Angled straight shots with irons

By • Updated: Apr 4th, 2011 • Category: Approach shots with irons

Most of us have a decent handle on distance when shooting a straight B2 shot.  However, what happens to your distance when you try to shoot the same 180-degree shot at an angle?  More than likely, you’re going to lose distance.  Theoretically, you should get the same distance off these shots as straight B2 shots, […]


Principles of Alignment

Ready for a hardcore dissection of angles and alignment?  My buddy Jeremy Olson has you covered!  The PDF document below speaks for itself and will almost certainly get you thinking about things you’ve never before considered while playing Golden Tee. Yes, it’s data heavy, but it will certainly be beneficial to those of us still […]

Creative Shot-Making on Short Par 3s

By • Updated: Jan 17th, 2011 • Category: Approach shots with irons, Features

Some of the toughest shots in this game come when you are right in-between distances with two high-lofted clubs.  Many of us use the Hawks, and most of us dread shots from 80 yards out — this is because the 9-iron sets up for 100 yards and the Sand Wedge sets up for 60 yards. […]


Rotating your golfer

By • Updated: Dec 24th, 2010 • Category: Miscellaneous

Just a quick fact to file away for you here — it takes 32 turns to complete a full 360-degree rotation of your golfer, so that means that each turn is worth 11.25 degrees.  Now you know!


Is that “straight” putt really straight?

By • Updated: Dec 24th, 2010 • Category: Putting

With experience, most of us become pretty good putters.  We have a handle on how much break to play from different distances, and we don’t often miss putts.  If you’re at this stage, there’s another important hint to learn if you haven’t discovered this already. Let’s say you have a 50-foot putt, Up 5.  You […]

Golden Tee 2011 — A Statistical View

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

Now that you’ve hopefully got many games of 2011 under your belts, you have a pretty good idea of the holes on which you score well, but more so, you probably know which holes are giving you fits.  Ever wonder if other players like you are struggling on the same holes? Better yet, wouldn’t it […]


Best Virtual Balls for Amateurs in 2011

By • Updated: Nov 1st, 2010 • Category: Features, Golden Tee golf balls

By now you’ve probably seen the grid that the guys at IT put together to compare Distance, Backspin, Curve and Loft for all available virtual balls in Golden Tee 2011. It’s certainly a nice resource, but it might scare you away from trying different types of balls if you establish an opinion based solely on […]

Golden Tees for Beginners

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: 2010 - Golden Tee LIVE 2011, Driving

Thanks again to Juan Schwartz for the info!  Here’s a breakdown of how you should expect Golden Tees to work in Golden Tee 2011: If you use a “high tee” your club will go one bigger club further, and one shorter club higher.   For example, A high-teed 3-wood will go as far as a driver, […]
