GOLF TIPFROM THE PROBy Gregg Gamester

Good course management is a matter of

thinking ahead before you play the shot.

You have to figure out the risk a particular

shot may bring and the reward you will

receive if you execute the shot correctly.

On most shots you have a safe route and a

more dangerous one. The safer shot may

involve laying up and taking an extra shot

to do so but it will prevent you frommaking

a big score on the hole. It is easy to be

tempted to take an aggressive line or

perhaps say “I know I’ll probably hit this in

trouble but here it goes anyway.”

Challenge yourself to play smart golf and

not force a shot. You will find that your

scores will drop. Consider the odds of

hitting a particular shot. Is it 1:10 or 8:10.

Play to your strengths and stay away from

shots that you are not very good at, yet.
