How to Use Course Management
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.
It may be that the hole is near a hazard or a bunker, in which case a shot to the middle of the green will be the sensible play. The flag may be at the top of a slope, if this is the case it is better to play below the pin as this will give you an easier putt.
Try before you start a hole to imagine where you would like your shots to be and play to those positions. We all know it is easier to hit shots from the fairway than the rough.
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
No matter how carefully you play you will often find yourself in positions which require an 'escape' shot of some sort. Always take the safe option - it may be the chip out sideways - but it wont land you in more trouble, and if you play the shot correctly it will get you out of trouble. Don't be tempted to 'have a go' unless you are feeling very confident or it doesn't matter!
The same applies to bunkers, take enough loft to get you out of the bunker. This is the object of the exercise - not to try for the longest shot and in doing so hit the top of the bunker and land back in it!
You need to assess your ability and correctly play the course according to make the most of that. Getting that elusive score is what keeps us coming back week after week................
