Three Fundamental Questions Answered
Better Golf Academy: Strategy to Awesome Golf
In this episode of the Better Golf Academy, I discuss the science of golf. Why? Because I believe if you understand it, it will give you a deeper insight to help you work on and improving the areas you have the control to change.
info_outlineIn this episode of the Better Golf Academy, I talk about how average golfers like us play the par 5s. We just want to hit the ball as far as we can on each shot. We think if we hit first 2 shots long and straight on a par 5, we are home free to a birdie. But, the truth is, those 2 longs perfect shots are hard to come by. In fact, this idea might be the reason why your score is blowing up on these Par 5s. I believe there’s a better way.
We should have a different mindset when it comes to playing the par 5s. We should be strategic in setting yourself up for a shot that you’ve been working on to perfect. Give yourself a chance to hit that shot every time so that you can execute what you’ve worked on to do.
You will walk away with a different mindset knowing that this game of golf didn’t control you this time, you controlled golf. And that’s a great feeling.
Oh, and here's the link to the youtube video I was talking about. LOL.
