Tee Box Decisions

The USGA rules state that a player may tee their ball up anywhere between the tee markers and no more than two club-lengths behind them which allows the player plenty of room.
Depending on fairway layout, correct placement in the tee box can be a determining factor. For example, if the fairway is a dogleg left, it may be to your advantage to tee up on the right side of the tee box. If you plan to hit a draw shot (curving to the left), it’s logical to tee up on the left side. Plan your shots carefully and use all of the tee box.
