I Suck at Golf. This $15 Accessory Makes Me Suck Less

I’m the self-anointed worst golfer at MyGolfSpy. Our staff is full of lifelong golfers who can absolutely bomb the ball and score in bunches.

I, on the other hand, struggle to get through a round without a few triples and losing a half-dozen of my Bridgestone Tour B X golf balls.

That said, I’m slowly and steadily improving and there are a few pieces of gear that have really helped me along the way. The least obvious (but perhaps most impactful and no-brainer) is a striped golf tee.

Yep, it sounds really stupid. How does a regular old golf tee help a sucky golfer suck less? The name of the game is consistency. I struggle at times to tee the ball up at a consistent height which results in less than desirable tee shots.

Striped tees, like these plastic beauties from Maxfli (I love the neon colors) make it extremely easy to tee the ball up at the same height on every driver hole. They’re darn near unbreakable, too!

It’s funny how it works. The more often I find the middle of the face, the more often I find the middle of the fairway! Who knew?

Anyhow, I can’t promise a golf tee will change your game. But I can promise that a consistent tee height will add much-needed consistency to your long game! Give it a try if you haven’t already.
