 | We’re trying to help you make more 3’s on the Par 3’s.
Better decision-making is going to improve your scores.
|  |
| Despite the increased amount of GPS data available, regular and inexperienced golfers still,
on the majority of occasions, come up short.
Even when a golfer knows the “yardage” on each of their clubs,
their misses are mostly short.
Simple Tip #2
Why are you expecting the perfect golf shot? What is your level of consistency? |
| If there’s no trouble behind
the green, then ignore the
distance to the flag, and pick a
club that, when struck well,
will get you to the back of
the green. That way a less
than perfect ball strike has
a chance of getting to
the green. Rarely do even
good ball strikers
make perfect contact. |  | | | |  | Where are the majority of your misses on all approach shots?
Would aiming for the back of the green (assuming no trouble behind the hole)
be a course management strategy that would improve your whole round?
Improving your performance on Par 3’s will probably increase your enjoyment
throughout the round. Think about improvement. If we can help, | | |  | |
