Golfers advised to adjust tee height for better accuracy and distance
Summary

Golf professionals emphasize the importance of tee height in achieving optimal performance with drivers. A higher tee can result in a higher launch and lower spin, leading to increased distance. Conversely, using a lower tee height can improve shot accuracy, particularly on challenging holes. This strategy is relevant for golfers of all skill levels, as it allows them to adapt their shots based on specific course conditions.
