How to Use Course Management
from:Course management is developed only by going to the golf course and getting experience to develop your skills. Of course you will make mistakes, but we can avoid making the same mistakes by learning from them and increase the chances of making a good score.
We all have limitations and its always best to play to the strengths we have.
Positional Play
Try to look at the angles, easiest is usually best. Observe the position of flag before you get to the green. It is an easier shot to make if you have the right angle, so if the flag is on the left of the green, coming in from the right of the fairway is best.
Sometimes the hole can be cut near a bunker or hazard and in this case you would make a shot to the middle of the green. Sometimes the flag is at the top of a slope, in this case you would want to ensure you have the easiest putt and play the ball below the pin.
Before you start to play a hole, imagine where you would like to position your shots to have the easiest journey to the flag. Hitting from the fairway is much easier than hitting from the rough or a bunker.
Hazards
Occasionally you will find a hazard in your line of play which you are unable to get over. The best play will therefore be to lay up short. All too often the error of using too much club is made with the result of ending up in the hazard. A 'lay up' should be exactly that, and you should choose a club which will not allow your ball to enter the hazard.
Dog Legs
We all think we can hit further than we actually can and therefore the temptation to cut off 'as much as possible' is a real one. In most cases it is better to be wider off the tee than too narrow as this will keep you out of trouble and give a better view.
Recovery Shots
Very often even when we have carefully planned where we would like the ball to be, we find that an 'escape' shot of some sort is required. The safe option is alway best - it may mean you possibly will drop a shot, but better to drop one than make a triple. Don't 'have a go' unless it doesn't matter, or you are very confident you can make the shot.
When you are in a bunker, your primary aim should be to get out - in one shot. If you do not use the correct club and end up back in the bunker, then you have made a silly mistake and incurred an extra shot or two!
Course management is the skill of assessing your ability and relating that to the demands of the course correctly. Achieving this to obtain the lowest possible score is what keeps us coming back each week.......................
