Plan a golf strategy when teeing your ball anywhere between the markers, but not forward of the markers. Don’t forget that you can also tee it a maximum of two club-lengths behind the line of the markers. Before you stick the tee in the ground take a good look at what is in front of you. And know what you are looking for.
Practically, every golf hole has more trouble on one side of the fairway than it does on the other.
This trouble may be visible: a string of white out-of-bounds stakes, a fence, or a body of water.
It may be serious, : longer rough on one side than on the other, or a fairway trap on one side. It might be just a line of small trees, or a hidden ravine, or it might be one big tree with spreading branches out there in the rough about 220 or 240 yards from the tee.
Whatever the trouble is, make this your rule: Tee up your ball on the same side of the teeing ground as the trouble lies, and shoot away from it.
If the worst trouble lies on the right side, tee up on the right. Aim for the left center of the fairway and let fly. This way you will be at least starting your shot away from the danger zone. If, playing from the right side, you slice badly enough to bring the ball back into the trouble, you will still have two sources of satisfaction:
The ball won’t be as deep in the trouble and you will know that you at least tried intelligently to avoid it. There is always the chance, of course, that you will hit the ball across the fairway and into the rough on the opposite side, but then you have been caught by the lesser of the two evils and the advantage is still yours.
