Hard Shots

Problem

You practice at the driving range, you can drive far and putt well yet you still have the highest score in your group.

Cure

Practice a variety of shots. Do not just go through and hit every iron in your bag. Practice shots that you will actually need to use on the course.

Therapy

Practice punch shots, flip shots, half wedge shots, knockdown shots, and draw shots. As you are practicing different types of swing styles, try to recall where you have used these shots before or where you could have lowered your score if you could have hit it successfully. Visualize these difficult situations as if you are actually playing and try to match the distance and trajectory needed for it as you practice. Repeat each shot three times and switch to a different style. Keep cycling through the different swing types until you feel comfortable with each of them.
