Instruction
Is your 3 wood really more accurate than your driver off the tee?
When I’m struggling with my driver, I’ll switch to a 3 wood off the tee for more control. Along with many others, I first learned this strategy from Jack Nicklaus in his prime.
During a lesson the other day, I suggested that a student try the same thing. He countered by saying that hitting a 3 wood off the tee does not work in today’s game, because the courses have become too long. In fact, he went on to say that most people don’t hit their 3 wood as accurately as they think and it’s not worth losing the “30 to 40 yards” when hitting 3 wood.
I stepped back for a second and thought, “Does he have a point? Is my information outdated?”
Later on, I decided to grab my Trackman 4 and a few random players and had them hit shots to see what really happened when they hit their driver and 3 wood off the tee. Below is the data I captured from two different players who hit their driver against their three wood.
Player 1: Driver
- The driver carried an average of 238.9 yards.
- It rolled out to a distance of 258.8 yards, on average.
- The average miss was 24.0 feet to the right.
Player 1: 3 Wood
- His three wood carried an average of 230.0 yards.
- It rolled out to 246.5 yards, on average.
- The misses averaged out to 10.2 feet left.
Player 1: Driver vs. 3 Wood
This player tends to miss his driver to the right, while he tends to hit the three wood in both directions, but generally closer to the target than the driver.
There wasn’t much difference between the two clubs on the carry side, only 8.9 yards, which tells me that the driver isn’t fit correctly for this student because his carry is too short for his club head speed of 102-104 mph.
Giving up yardage could mean too long of an approach shot into the green for this player, and for that reason he will likely be better off hitting driver off the tee — especially if trouble looms on the left. His misses also went consistently farther with the driver, thanks to its more forgiving, 460-cubic-centimeter head. Even the largest fairway woods are usually less than half that size, and for that reason they’re less-forgiving clubs.
Conclusion for Player 1
There is no doubt that Player 1’s 3 wood shots were indeed the better when it comes to accuracy, since this player’s miss average was 10.2 feet left. His biggest miss with the three wood was only 44.9 feet left versus 61.4 feet right with the driver. His lack of distance, however, makes driver a better choice in most cases, and his driving would likely be improved by custom fitting.
Player 2: Driver
- Carry distance of the driver was 261.7 yards and the overall total was 285 yards.
- This player has a big miss left with his driver.
- The average miss was 66.7 feet left with the three biggest misses being 151.2 feet, 156.4 feet, and 172.4 feet to the left.
Player 2: 3 Wood
- The average carry was 245.8 yards with a difference of 20 yards (235.5 to 253.5 yards) between the longest and shortest shots.
- The ball rolled out to an average of 263.2 yards with the three wood.
- The three wood had an average miss of only 35.5 feet left.
Player 2: Driver vs. 3 Wood
- Player 2 carried the ball an average of 15.9 yards longer with his driver, and the clubs had similar roll-out distances.
- The biggest miss with his driver was 172.4 feet left, while the biggest miss with the three wood was 69.0 feet left
Conclusion for Player 2
There is NO doubt that Player 2 should hit 3 wood whenever he gets under pressure or must hit the fairway due to the huge miss potential with his driver. And as far as this player hits the ball, he should still be able to hit comfortable approach shots into most par 4’s without his driver.
Final Thoughts
For shorter hitters such as Player 1, it can be true that a 3 wood off the tee is usually not the best option, despite small gains in accuracy that can be possible. For longer hitters — especially those like Player 2 who struggle with driver accuracy — 3 wood can still be a prudent play.
The takeaway is that it’s important for golfers to never blindly choose a strategy based on what’s trendy, but to instead do their own testing. It’s those findings that are truly important. My years on the lesson tee and this test prove to me that it’s still ok to hit a 3 wood when you need to get your tee shot in play.
The LPGA Tour is kicking off its 2026 season this week at Lake Nona Golf and Country Club in Orlando, and the pros are dealing with something most Florida golfers rarely face: freezing temperatures.
“It’s colder here than in the UK at the minute, which is a first,” said England’s Charley Hull during Wednesday’s media day at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.
Even Lydia Ko, who lives at Lake Nona, seemed surprised by the cold snap. “We’re pretty much getting to below zero in celsius here, which maybe in other parts of the country they would be thankful, but when you’re in Florida it is a little bit of a surprise,” she said.
If the world’s best players are adjusting their games for cold weather, recreational golfers should, too. Here’s how to play smart when the mercury drops.
Understand What Cold Does to Your Game
Before you change anything, you need to know what you’re fighting against. Cold air is denser than warm air, which means your ball won’t fly as far. Period.
Hull noticed this immediately during practice rounds at Lake Nona. She mentioned hitting a gap wedge into the 18th hole during a previous win but needing a 4-iron during Tuesday’s practice round. That’s a difference of four or five clubs for the same shot.
Action item: Expect to lose 5-10 yards on every club in your bag when temperatures dip below 50 degrees. Plan accordingly and don’t be stubborn about club selection.
Layer Up Without Restricting Your Swing
Hull admitted she wore three pairs of pants during practice. While that might be extreme for most of us, staying warm is critical to playing well in cold conditions.
Your muscles need warmth to function properly. When you’re cold, your body tightens up and your swing gets shorter and faster. Neither of those things help you hit good golf shots.
Action item: Wear multiple thin layers instead of one bulky jacket. Look for golf-specific cold weather gear that stretches with your swing. Keep hand warmers in your pockets between shots. And don’t forget a good hat because you lose significant body heat through your head.
Take More Club Than You Think You Need
This is where ego gets in the way of good scores. When it’s cold, the ball doesn’t compress as well off the clubface. Combined with denser air, you’re looking at serious distance loss.
The pros at Lake Nona are dealing with a course that measures 6,642 yards but plays much longer this week. If they’re adjusting, you should too.
Action item: Take at least one extra club on every approach shot. In temperatures below 40 degrees, consider taking two extra clubs. It’s better to fly the ball to the back of the green than to come up short in a bunker.
Adjust Your Expectations on the Greens
Cold weather affects putting in ways most golfers don’t consider. The ball is harder and doesn’t roll as smoothly. Your hands are cold, making it harder to feel the putter. And if there’s any moisture on the greens, they’ll be slower than normal.
Ko mentioned that she still sometimes reads the greens wrong at Lake Nona despite being a member for years. Cold weather makes that challenge even tougher.
Action item: Hit putts more firmly than usual. The ball needs extra speed to hold its line on cold greens. Take a few extra practice strokes to get a feel for the speed before you putt.
Embrace the Mental Challenge
Hull said something interesting about cold weather golf: “I like the mental toughness of it.”
That’s the right attitude. Everyone on the course is dealing with the same conditions. The player who stays patient and doesn’t get frustrated by the extra difficulty will come out ahead.
Action item: Lower your expectations by a few strokes. If you normally shoot 85, accept that 90 might be a good score in 40-degree weather. Focus on solid contact and smart decisions rather than perfect shots.
Warm Up Longer and Smarter
This might be the most important tip of all. Cold muscles are tight muscles, and tight muscles get injured easily.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul revealed she’s been protecting a wrist injury that bothered her late last season. Cold weather makes those kinds of injuries more likely if you don’t prepare properly.
Action item: Spend at least 20 minutes warming up before your round. Start with stretching, then hit easy wedge shots before working up to your driver. Keep moving between shots on the course to maintain body heat and flexibility.
The pros at Lake Nona this week will adapt and compete at the highest level despite the cold. You can do the same at your local course by following these tips and keeping a positive attitude.

Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour, and whether you love him or hate him, the guy knows how to win when it matters. After his LIV Golf stint, the five-time major champion returns this week at the Farmers Insurance Open.
What makes Koepka fascinating? He doesn’t fit the mold. His swing isn’t textbook. He doesn’t obsess over mechanics. Yet he’s won three PGA Championships and two U.S. Opens, regularly making it look easier than guys with prettier swings.
So, what can average golfers learn from someone who treats the game so differently? Quite a bit.
Stop Overthinking Every Shot
Koepka describes his approach as “reactionary” rather than mechanical. While most tour pros grind over swing thoughts, Brooks sees the target and hits it. No mental checklist.
This might be the most valuable lesson for weekend golfers who’ve watched too many YouTube swing videos.
How to actually do this:
On the range, hit five balls where you stare at the target for three seconds prior to addressing the ball. Don’t think about grip or stance. Just burn that target into your brain. You’ll be shocked at how pure you hit it when your brain focuses on where the ball is going instead of how you’re swinging.
Next time you play, give yourself a rule: Once you pull the club, you’ve got 15 seconds to hit. Koepka is one of the fastest players on tour because he doesn’t give his brain time to sabotage him.
If you feel tension in your hands at address, you’re trying to control too much. Koepka’s grip pressure is famously light. Loosen up until the club almost feels like it might slip, then add just enough pressure to hold on. That’s your swing thought: soft hands, see the target.
This approach works better under pressure. When you’re standing over that shot with water left and OB right, the last thing you need is a mental checklist. See it, feel it, hit it.
Play to Your Strengths (Even If They’re Not Pretty)
Koepka uses a strong grip that wouldn’t pass muster in some teaching circles. But he’s built his game around what works for him, elite driving distance and recovery skills. He doesn’t try to be someone he’s not.
Here’s how to build your game like Brooks:
Look at your last five rounds and figure out where you’re actually gaining strokes. Bombing it off the tee, but can’t hit greens? Lean into it. Play courses where distance matters more than precision. On tight holes, grip down on your 3-wood instead of trying to thread a driver through a keyhole you’ll miss seven times out of ten.
Koepka knows he can scramble, so he’s not afraid to miss greens. If you’re deadly from 50 to 75 yards, start leaving yourself those distances on the par 5’s instead of going for them in two every time.
Know when to take your medicine. Koepka in the trees at the PGA? He’s punching out to 100 yards, not trying to bend a 6-iron around three oaks. You’re in the rough with a flyer lie and water short? Hit your 8-iron to the middle and move on. That’s not playing scared, that’s playing smart.
Save Your Best for When It Counts
Here’s a wild stat: Koepka’s putting average in majors is often more than a full stroke better per round than in regular events. He elevates when pressure is highest.
How does an amateur tap into that gear? It’s not about trying harder, it’s about caring differently.
Here’s what actually works:
Decide which rounds matter to you. Club championship? Member-guest? That annual trip with college buddies? Circle those dates and treat them differently. Koepka doesn’t care much about regular tour events, but majors? That’s when he locks in.
Two weeks before your big round, change your practice. Stop beating balls mindlessly. Play nine holes in which every shot has consequences. Miss the fairway? Hit from the rough on the next hole too. Three-putt? Twenty push-ups. Koepka’s practice intensity ramps up before majors because he’s rehearsing pressure, not just swings.
Develop a between-shot routine that resets your brain. Koepka is famous for his blank expression after bad shots. Try this: After any shot, take three deep breaths while walking, then find something specific to notice, a tree, a cloud, someone’s shirt. That’s your reset button. By the time you reach your ball, the last shot is gone.
The Bottom Line
Brooks Koepka’s return reminds us there’s no single path to success in golf. His “substance over style” approach proves that results matter more than looking good.
You don’t need a perfect swing; you need a reliable one that holds up under pressure. You don’t need to hit every shot in the book; you need the shots you can count on. And you don’t need to play great every time; you need to play great when it matters.
Welcome back, Brooks. Thanks for the reminder that golf is ultimately about getting the ball in the hole, not winning style points.

Blades Brown made a big impression last week in the California desert, and not just because he’s only 18. He put up numbers that would catch any weekend golfer’s attention. Most of us won’t hit 317-yard drives or find 86% of our greens in regulation, but there’s a lot to learn from how Brown managed his game at The American Express.
Here are three practical lessons from his performance that you can use on your own course this weekend.
Step 1: Give Priority to Accuracy Over Distance Off The Tee
Brown’s driving stats are impressive. He averaged almost 318 yards off the tee, ranking 12th in the field. More importantly, he hit 76.79% of his fairways, tying for fourth place in the tournament.
Think about that ratio for a second. Brown could have swung harder, chased more distance and tried to overpower the course. Instead, he played smart golf and kept his ball in play.
Your Action Item: Next time you’re on the tee box, ask yourself a simple question before pulling the driver. Do you need maximum distance here, or do you need to be in the fairway? If there’s trouble lurking or the hole doesn’t demand every yard you can muster, take something off your swing. Grip down an inch. Make a three-quarter swing. Do whatever it takes to find the short grass. Brown’s approach illustrates that fairways lead to greens, and greens lead to birdies. He made 22 of them last week, along with an eagle.
The math is simple. When you’re hitting three out of every four fairways like Brown did, you’re giving yourself legitimate looks at the green with your approach shots. That’s when scoring happens.
Step 2: Commit To Hitting More Greens
This is where Brown really separated himself. He hit 62 of 72 greens in regulation, an 86.11% clip that tied for first in the entire field. Read that again. An 18-year-old kid tied for the lead in one of the most important ball-striking statistics in professional golf.
How did he do it? By keeping his ball in the fairway (see Step 1) and giving himself clean looks with mid-irons and wedges.
Your Action Item: Start tracking your greens in regulation. You don’t need a fancy app or a statistics degree. Just mark down whether you hit the green in the regulation number of strokes. Par 3s in one shot. Par 4s in two shots. Par 5s in three shots.
Once you know your baseline, set a goal to improve it by 10%. If you’re currently hitting five greens per round, aim for six. The beauty of this approach is that it forces you to think strategically about club selection and shot shape. Brown’s strokes gained approach number was positive (0.179), meaning he was better than the field average. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be on the dance floor more often.
When you hit more greens, you eliminate the need for heroic short game shots. Brown only had to scramble 10 times all week, and he got up and down 70% of the time. That’s solid, but the real story is that he rarely put himself in scrambling situations to begin with.
Step 3: Minimize Mistakes And Stay Patient
Here’s the stat that jumps off the page: Brown made only three bogeys all week. Three. In four rounds of professional golf against the best players in the world.
He also made just one double bogey. That kind of clean card doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you play within yourself, avoid the big miss and trust that pars are never bad scores.
Your Action Item: Before your next round, decide that you’re going to play boring golf. No hero shots over water. No driver on tight holes just because you can. No aggressive pins when there’s a safe side of the green.
Brown’s performance shows us that consistency beats flash every single time. He didn’t lead the field in any single strokes gained category, but he was solid across the board. That’s how you post numbers and cash checks.
Give these three steps a try. Your scorecard will thank you.

I am going to let you guys in on a little secret. Go to Hirekogolf and get a Thriver, 14 degree loft like a 3 wood and 460cc head like a driver. I have a callaway drive I also use. Not scared of the driver, sometimes I need accuracy, and sometimes I need to let the big dogs eat. I can hit the ball pretty far so when I miss a certain degree left or right it goes way out. A push or a pull not a hook or slice can be OB… I don’t sacrifice to much distance with the Thriver. Hitting a driver long is a blessing and a curse… miss hit and just wave good bye and tee up your third shot!

This more or less contradicts the book Every Shot Counts. In short, if you set accuracy to equal, the driver is worth it every time. There’s no question, because the extra 20-40 yards gives an easier second shot even with a not-great lie. No doubt I’d rather be 125 in the first cut than 165 in the fairway.
This limited sample size just lends itself to equipment misfittings for both players… player one misses driver right, 3w left. Huh? Both teed? Player two has a poor driver. Whatever p2 has for a 3w is the magic sauce, but that just leads to the conclusion that p2 should NEVER hit driver if driver is only marginally better but way, way less accurate. Even with that dispersion, this is a player that should be expecting another 10-25 yards on drives. With a 3w dispersion like that, there is clearly an issue with driver for any number of reasons.

I tend to be a little steeper so swinging my 3 wood w/ a little less descending angle of attack than my irons doesn’t feel like such a big departure in my swing. My driver swing often doesn’t get the face and path synced up which often gives me control issues. That being said I’d rather be able to draw my 3 wood, which is shorter in length and allows me to be steeper, than fade/pull hook a drive. I wish I could play enough to be a good driver but the constant day to day/ swing to swing change is a lot to manage when all I’m trying to do is put together a good score. In summary I like swinging 3 wood b/c it doesn’t feel like such a big departure from my irons and thus lets me think about scoring. I would admit though that going driver wedge on a par 4 or on in 2 on a par five are worth while goals to strive for but not at the expense of O.B. or punching out from the forest.

It certainly varies from one golfer to the next…and where their swing is at. There’s more room to miss on the face of a driver but for me, a three wood still probably hits more fairways.
In the end, a good swing is a good swing and a bad swing with any club gives you a bad result.

When I first back into golf a few years ago after a long hiatus I rarely touched my driver. My friends always ripped on me for pulling my 3 wood every time but my accuracy is so much better with my wood its uncanny. Now that I’ve been back into things for awhile my driver is much better than it was, but I am never afraid to use my 3 wood and short game skills to outscore my friends even if they drive 20-30 yds further than me off the tee.

Nov 11, 2015 at 4:03 pm
I have been playing a short tree-lined country club course (est. 1950’s) for several years. Fairway accuracy is of the utmost importance. I pull 3W on 6 holes. I do think it comes down to personal preference. However, I would be interested to know the correlation between clubhead size and accuracy.
Mark
Nov 11, 2015 at 2:30 pm
Was it the same for the other players you tested? You said you tested a few players but then only gave results for two.
Confirmation bias?
Bryan
Nov 11, 2015 at 2:26 pm
I think this article leaves a lot to be desired. First, you really can’t draw any conclusions from a sample size of 2. Second, as others have pointed out, using average distance offline is problematic. Player 1 clearly has a smaller dispersion with the driver and a one way miss. Third, we really wouldn’t know what the better play is without knowing about the rest of the player’s game, the hole, and the situation. I realize that the question was simply which club is more accurate, but what good is being a little more accurate if it doesn’t help your score?
The reality is that for some players, the three wood is going to be the best option on all but the most open holes and for some players three wood is almost never the best option.
The author certainly agrees with that in his takeaway, but doesn’t provide as much guidance as he could.

I play a G30 11.5 and a SLDR Mini Driver 14.
The mini driver has been a revelation when I’m not driving well with the Ping….& actually WAY more accurate than I could ever hit my former 3 wood, almost to the point where I’m considering selling the G30.

I am one of those players that much more confidence in my driver than my 3 wood. Both were “custom fit” and have similar shafts (same model in different weight and length, cut to match flex closely). Despite them being very similar, I get more consistent results from my driver. The problem I run in to, is on medium length holes where a driver doesn’t make sense, and an iron off the tee leaves a second shot that is just too long. In my last 5 rounds, I lost strokes on every hole that I had to use my 3 wood due to errant tee shots. Last year, it was probably the other way around.
Maybe it’s time for a new wood. Really, it comes down to practice.

Player 1 seems to have a better dispersion with the driver. Not the 3 wood.
Rolla
Nov 10, 2015 at 3:05 pm
Further analysis showing the number of shots that result in dispersion of greater than half the average fairway width would be a true test of this stategy. Put on the tee I wanna know i hit the fairway more frequently not that I’m three trees closer to somewhere I’m still chipping out from. I suspect the conclusion will be similar tho
Kevin
Nov 10, 2015 at 2:04 pm
The farther the ball travels the bigger the miss. It’s all depending on the landing spot on the fairway, pick the most generous landing spot that you are capable of carry the ball to, choose your correct club distance and bomb it down with confidence.

I think Rory is an excellent example of this. He tees off with his 3 wood 2-4 times per round regardless of the course setup. Granted, he can nail his 3 wood 300+, but I think the principle is the same. The margin of error is smaller with the wood.

I hit both my driver and 3 wood somewhat accurate. That being said if I were told I have to hit a fairway in pulling 3 wood.

Hello Tom,
Here’s data from gamegolf for my last 20 rounds:
10* Driver –
240yds, 42%FW (33% miss right, 25% miss left)
17* Fairway –
225yds, 62%FW (20% miss right, 18% miss left)
My bad miss is a hook so I tend to aim at the right side of the fairway and many of my right misses are actually solid shots that don’t draw. I do feel more confident with the 17* and the driver is usually the second choice unless the swing feels extra good that day. So for me, 20% more fairways beats 15 yards on most holes…. Do you agree?
Charles
Nov 9, 2015 at 8:40 pm
Obviously this article mostly comes down to personal preference….I know guys that feel so comfortable with their 3w’s that they never miss fairways, and other guys that feel more comfortable with driver. I have played professionally for 5 years now, and I can tell you that other then controlling distance (laying up before a bunker or other trouble), the only reason you hit 3 wood is because the miss is more controlled. It’s all about controlling misses in golf, PARTICULARLY off the tee. I promise you 95% of golfers worst miss with a 3 wood is a thousand times better then their worst miss with a driver. Thats all it really comes down to, controlling misses.

IMO dump the 3 wood and go with a 14* driver. Best of both worlds and how many times does one hit 3 wood off the deck per round-especially longer hitters.

I play a 3 deep and I use it all the time. I hit it stupid low, like 5-8 degrees. I love it for 300 yard par 4’s, and into the wind, and I tend to fade it versus hooking my driver. So as a lefty its a great club to avoid trouble on the right.
Taylor
Nov 9, 2015 at 7:20 pm
I would much rather hit a driver off the tee than a 3 wood. If the hole is too short for a driver, I’ll grab my next accurate club (4 iron) when I need to hit a fairway on a par 4. I’ll only grab the 3 wood when I know I have a healthy landing area. This being said…the best club you could have a is a confident 3 wood, if only I could find the swing with it.

When I initially saw the title of this article, I rolled my eyes because Rich Hunt wrote almost the exact same article about a year ago stating that driver was the better play; however, I was pleasantly surprised with this article! It is was well thought out, provided detailed analysis, and came to a profound conclusion– ALL GOLFERS ARE DIFFERENT.
I can’t stand it when I see golfers (or anyone, for that matter) making a decision based on what others are doing. Find what’s best for YOU, and you’ll be happier and better off for it.
Thanks for the article!

Thanks for the article!
I wonder what the difference between a conventional 3 wood and a super high-lofted driver (13.5*+) would be? I feel like I’m more accurate with the bigger head/face, but I often wonder what AoA has to do with accuracy.

I played the 2015 season only with a 3 wood in the bag and wonder now if this was good strategy, after playing with driver in the bag this weekend in competition and hit 100% fairways when I pulled the driver. Maybe the wood helped me to hit it more accurately so maybe it was worth it. Didn’t have issues with the wood even on longer holes but now that weather is getting colder I need to hit driver to have same results.

The driver and 3 wood pictures for Player 1 are not under the correct heading. They need to be switched.
