Do you wanna shave 10 strokes off your golf scores immediately?
Then read on...
Did ya watch Tiger Woods during the U.S Open at Torrey Pines this year?
Tiger meticulously planned each golf shot - he is a pure golf warrior!
Tiger Woods is the best golfer on the planet mainly because he fully understands his strengths - and weaknesses. Yes, even Tiger has weaknesses.
You might think to play golf like Tiger Woods means to bomb every drive.
Or go for the miracle golf shot. This is hardly the case.
Read on...
When Tiger has the lead in the final round of a golf tournament he usually plays conservative; like hitting fairway wood off the tee - this usually takes the big number out of the equation. He lets his opponents beat themselves as they aggressively chase him.
Tiger's knee hurt badly during all 4 rounds of the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines this past weekend. A weakness in his game not to be denied or ignored. Because of his knee injury Tiger knew what he was capable of, and what he wasn't capable of.
Tiger played within his limits!
When Tiger was in the rough on a par 5, he laid up. He didn't go for the green in two and risk shooting himself out of the golf tournament.
Tiger Woods learned early in life under the tutelage of his father Earl on how to survey the golf course AND his opponents with uncanny precision. Tiger does this through the fine art of course management.
And mental toughness!
What is the fine art of course management you say? It all starts with knowing your limits.
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses, and knowing your opponent's strengths and weaknesses - and of course know the golf course you are playing on - this is your battlefield!
Tiger Woods knows his limits and plays within them. So many high handicap golfers try for the "miracle shot" when they are in trouble. This usually ends up costing them at least 10 strokes or more a round (depending on their level).
Think about it, attempting to hit the miracle golf shot you can execute correctly one in ten times is a recipe for disaster. This may make for great drama. Remember Tin Cup? How bout Jean Van de Velde when he choked in the '99 British Open? They both went for the miracle golf shot.
The truth is going for the miracle shot when everything is on the line may make for great T.V. drama; however this attitude will absolutely crush your golf scores!
Do you hit driver on a 300 yard par 4 even though you can only drive the ball 250? The 50 yard pitch shot is one of the hardest shots in golf...
Even for Tiger Woods!
Rather than reaching for the big stick, leave yourself 100 yards for your second shot. For most good golfers 100 yards is a full pitching wedge which they can hit in their sleep.
Play golf like Tiger Woods as he systematically wore down a game competitor in Rocco Mediate during the 18 hole playoff in this year's U.S. Open. Think and plan ahead - know your strengths - and your weaknesses!
The fact of the matter is, if you plan on leaving the golf ball at your "sweet spot" distance from the hole, you will dramatically improve your chances of hitting more greens in regulation.
And more greens in regulation leads to more circles on your score card - which means more pars and birdies!
For some this sweet spot distance from the pin is 100 yards, some 120 yards, learn what your sweet spot distance is and practice that shot over and over at the range until you can hit that shot in your sleep.
Play golf like Tiger Woods sizing up his next major win!
Hit 'em Long and Straight!
