Accuracy is key with a 3 wood, so you want to make sure you're teeing it high enough so that the ball doesn't travel too far off line. Most golfers find that teeing the ball between 2 and 2 1/2 inches high yields good results. The 3 wood is probably the most versatile club in your bag. It's great for driving off the tee, it's fun to play with from the fairway or rough, and if you have a little room to work with, it produces some wicked spin around the greens. You can use your driver off of just about any lie, but not all of them are a good idea. If there isn't much room between you and the trees, if your shot path is blocked by other players, or if you're simply uncomfortable making a big swing with so little time to set up… well those are all great excuses to pull out the 3 wood instead.
