Most golfers I meet believe their swing is what stands between them and a better score. Often it is their decisions. Here are three changes you can make on your very next round.
1. Aim for the fat part of the green
Unless you are holding a wedge, a tucked pin is not your target. Aim for the center of the green and let a good shot drift toward the flag. Your average leave will be shorter and your misses far kinder.
2. Take one more club
Most amateurs come up short far more often than long. Choose the club that gets you to the back of the green with your normal swing, not your best swing.
3. Take your medicine
When you are in trouble, the hero shot through the trees rarely pays off. Get back to the fairway, take a bogey at worst, and move on. Avoiding one double bogey a round adds up fast.
