Play a round from the forward tees.

Teeing it way forward only makes one thing easier—getting your drive up near the green. Once you're there, nothing else changes. That 70-yard wedge is just as hard. A 12-footer is the same 12-footer. So you end up with a round stuffed full of scoring shots: wedges inside 100, greenside chips, and a ton of makeable putts.

Playing from way forward forces you to hit a lot of these really important scoring shots. And if you're not scoring markedly lower, you'll instantly know why.
