Tee to Turf Progression

10-20 min Solo Broken Tee, 7-Iron, Alignment Stick
Setup
Place a broken tee under the ball for the first set. Alignment stick for aim.
Drill Instructions
Hit 5 balls teed slightly up, brushing the tee out in front. Lower the tee and repeat 5, then remove the tee and hit 10 from turf. Check that divots start just ahead of where the ball sat.
Goal
80% solid contact from turf with divots starting ahead of ball line.
Make It Easier
Keep the ball slightly teed longer and slow the swing.
Coach Tip
Picture a dollar bill under the ball—divot should begin at the front edge.
Make It Harder
Add a strike gate (two tees) to ensure center-face contact.
Avoid
Hanging back and striking behind the ball.
