Golf Tip from the Pro What side of the teeing area should you use while playing?

This is overlooked by a lot of golfers during a round of golf. I would suggest

for the player that shapes the ball left to right to use the right side of the tee

area and the favor the left side of the teeing area if you shape the ball right to

left. Keep in mind that you want to open the fairway up as much as possible

to allow the ball to travel away from the tree line or water hazards. A perfect

example is the tee shot on #12 at the Wilmington Island

Club. If you have a tendency to shape the ball left to

right than favor the right side of the teeing area. If you

have a question regarding a particular tee shot please

stop by the golf shop and we will be more than happy to

review.
