Two Iron

Problem

You are not good at using your woods but need to make a long and accurate tee shot.

Cure

Try using a 2 iron instead of your driver or fairway woods.

Therapy

One of the biggest problems people have with using a two iron is that they use too wide of a stance. Your feet should be just a little wider apart than the width of your shoulders. Tee the ball about two inches behind the inset of your forward foot and tee it lower than you would when using your driver. Imagine the ball hitting next to the pin or at a specific location on the fairway that is free from obstacles. Then swing and remember to take a full follow through.

How old is this tip? Sounds like advice from 1995.

Tiger does it to avoid bunkers and on some really tight fairways. If it works for him, I'd be willing to give it a try. ;)

Try a 3-Hybrid instead. Please. :)
