How to score better at Pahaska Tee

Yardage adjustments are critical due to the high elevation, as the ball will travel further than at sea level. Focus on center-of-the-green targets to account for uneven lies and unpredictable winds coming off the surrounding peaks. Conservative club selection off the tee helps keep the ball in play on the narrower corridors.
