Minimize Your Swing Thoughts
Preshot: Visualize what you want the ball to do.
Swing thought: Freely swing the clubhead.
Swing your driver smoothly, like you want to hit it only 100 yards.
Make More Tough Short Putts
Make a smooth stroke while looking at the target, not at the ball.
Take More Club on Par 3s
Few amateurs hit the ball over or through the green on par 3s; most come up short. If you hit it flush, you're on; if you hit it less than solidly, you still might make it to the putting surface.
Score Lower on Par 5s
Make the last shot your favorite yardage into the green. Good greenside bunker players accelerate the clubhead through the shot, letting the sand "splash" the ball out. Set up with the face of your sand wedge slightly open, the ball slightly forward in your stance. Hit the sand behind the ball, and finish your swing like you're hitting a full 5-iron.
Chip with Your Putting Stroke
Make your putting stroke, allowing the loft of the club to carry the ball over the unpredictable turf onto the green.
