Things you do that defy professional advice ...

[Stuart]

I have two swing / playing strategies that run contrary to almost every pro's advice I have come across. But they work for me:

- I hit the ball with a draw. However, I have kept the stats. for the past year and I found that I hit nearly a third more fairways when I tee it up on the far right of the tee box (as a right hander) every time rather than the left. Every pro keeps telling me to tee up on the left due to my draw, but, and I accept it is mostly psychological, it just works better for me if I line up on the right, aim straight down the tree line and work it back towards the middle. With this approach, I almost never miss the fairway to the right. Teeing up on the left introduces a block (no idea why - again, probably psychological) and I miss both left and right.

- I have the ball in about the middle of my stance for every club including driver. As soon as the ball creeps further towards my left foot, I start to get the pull-hooks. For whatever reason, I simply hit the ball straighter and longer when it is centred. Again, every pro tells me I need to move it further forward.

Still haven’t gone blind.

Tee it up on the side you want to miss, the shape dont matter, aim away from the trouble not at it.

I have never heard of advice like tee up left if you hit a draw. Makes no sense.
