Thereof, how does tee height affect driving distance?
For most players, the height at which they tee their golf ball has a direct impact on how well they can drive it. It's possible to tee the ball too low and too high; when it's teed just right, you should get the maximum distance and trajectory on your tee shots.
Subsequently, question is, how high should you tee up a driver? The ball should be highest off the ground for a driver.
