MY GOLF BLUEPRINT
Golf Strategy: choose the shot you can play
Use realistic carry distances, safe targets and repeatable decisions to manage a round.
Browse the guides
Choose tees that fit your carry
Choose tees that leave realistic shots and manageable forced carries.
Safe targets: aim for your whole pattern
A target should allow for the spread of shots you normally hit.
Avoid penalty strokes with earlier decisions
Many penalty strokes begin with a club or target choice made before the swing.
Layups: compare the next shot and the risk
A layup should place the ball in a useful position while controlling the chance of trouble.
Club selection: carry, lie and stopping room
Select a club for the carry required, the lie and the available landing area.
Playing from rough: assess what the lie allows
Rough can interfere with contact and change speed, launch or spin.
Uphill and downhill lies: adapt the task
Sloping ground changes balance and delivery.
Avoid short-sided misses
A short-sided miss leaves little green between the ball and the hole, often demanding a difficult recovery.
Track performance you can act on
Useful statistics describe repeated situations and decisions.
Course management: make a playable plan
Course management combines your shot pattern with the hole's design and the situation after each stroke.
