Range golf vs course golf.
Most range time does not transfer. Here are the four variables that close the gap.
The four gaps
- Lie variability. The course has bad lies. The range has one lie.
- Tee height. Range rubber tees pick one height. The course gives you any height you want.
- Targeting. The course has flags. The range has yardage markers and nothing else.
- Pressure. The course has scores. The range has no consequences.
What we fix
Better Golf Tee fixes #2. For the other three, you need other tools (intentional pre-shot routine, target-focused practice, course-management training). Tee height is the simplest gap to close and the one with the most direct effect on strike pattern.
