WATCH: How to play par 3’s with a forced carry
We are excited to announce a new weekly instructional series with Tom Stickney, a top-100 teacher and the Director of Golf Instruction at the new Punta Mita Golf Academy in Mexico.
Below is the intro video for the series, and the first episode where Stickney provides tips on how to handle par threes with a forced carry. Enjoy!
Intro
Episode 1: How to play par 3’s with a forced carry
Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.

Another way, if it’s a long carry, is to chip down to the forward tee and play over with about three clubs less. Easy bogey.
Holes like the one in this video, though, are stupid. I would never play on a course that had one.

I dont have this problem because I don’t travel to dumps like Mexico. You will get drugged and your clubs stolen before you reach this hole anyways.

Based on your ignorant comment I’d say the chances are high you don’t travel very far beyond your fly over state trailer park.

You got suckered. Why even respond? He even created his userID to stir the pot. These aren’t his real opinions, he just wanted to get your reaction.

Hawaii is so much better than Mexico. Who goes to Mexico besides drunk college kids?

I will never ever vacation in murderous Mexico again. It’s a narco state feeding U.S. druggies. Stay away, it’s dangerous!!
