If you think the object of the
game is
to out-drive your buddies...
Sure, it's
fun to hit a great drive... But the idea is to get
the ball into the hole in the
fewest number of strokes possible. If
you're intimidated by another
player's booming drives... you're
not focused on your game. If
you try to out-drive him you're
playing his game with your swing... and you're asking
for trouble. Your
Strategy has to be in sync with
your Skill. Forget
what the other fellow's doing. Play
Your Game. Plan to get
to the Green in birdie... hit
shorter safer shots... In the
long run you'll drop strokes. |
