Playing from the forward tees might not sound like much of a practice drill, but it can be one of the best ways to expose the weaknesses in your golf game. In this episode of Golf IQ, Golf Digest’s Luke Kerr-Dineen explains why he tries to play from the forward tees at least once every season, and why players like Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Young used similar methods as junior golfers. By making the course shorter, golfers put themselves in scoring positions more often, placing added pressure on their wedges, short game and putting while forcing them to make smarter strategic decisions.
