Playing Safe Shots

Had a decent round of golf today.

Shot a 45 on the front 9 which I was pretty happy with. I then had an average back 9 and shot 51.

I'll still take a round of 96 every day of the week.

This was the strategy that I went in with:

  • Be confident off the tee, usually hit a 7, 5 or 3 iron
  • Hit low straight shots as your approach shots on par 4 and 5s, this was usually a punchy 8 or 7 iron

With this low straight shot strategy I find that I can control the distance and direction of the ball pretty well. I can usually avoid hitting it with any curve. The goal of this kind of shot is to almost guarantee yourself the ball will fly ~130 metres straight.
