Get it in the Fairway
Posted September 16th, 2004 by Erik J. Barzeski
Get the ball in the fairway on tight holes to lower your scoring.
On tight holes, get the ball into the fairway. Let's pretend that hole #4 at your club is a 450 yard hole with water right and OB left. You could hit driver or 3W, but if you hit into trouble even 50% of the time you may be better off playing 5I, 5I, PW and leaving yourself two putts for bogey - a far better average than triple, bogey, par, triple, quadruple, bogey, double. Get the ball in the fairway off the tee, and keep the ball there to score well on psych-out holes.
