Why Weekend Warriors Lose Strokes Off the Tee

Ever wonder why your scorecard blows up before you even reach the green? Turns out, most of us amateurs—yep, even the single-digit guys—are losing strokes right off the tee. Arccos data shows that 10-15 handicappers hit nearly 1 in 4 drives into trouble (penalties or punch-outs). Even the scratch crowd isn’t immune! The pros, though? They’re basically pilots at takeoff—steady, strategic, and rarely out of play. Want to fix it? Swing at 95%, adjust your tee height, and play the fairway bottlenecks smart. Who else is working on their "takeoff" game? #GolfTips #AmateurGolf #GolfStrategy #GolfForum #Sports
