Every golf shot has a perfect result that any player can produce. Of course, the stronger the player, the chances of producing this result is increased. Before any contact is made, each player likely goes through a pre-shot routine that should include visualization. The practice of mentally seeing your golf shot shot is a very important step to lowering your golf scores. This technique connects your mental and physical aspects of your golf swing which in turn produces consistent results we are all searching for each time we hit the links.

Over the past nine years, I have tried to share as much information, tips, and stories in order to help others decrease their learning curve. I understand that I have repeated myself from time to time, but generally that was because the topic was important and usually fit into my current game. With all the writing about how things could be attempted/executed, there is one core fundamental that all golfers must develop; each player must find the right club to use during the plethora of shots during every round of golf.

I have said for years that to compete in any tournament, just shoot your handicap or a bit better. Most players do not respond well during competition and generally shoot higher than expected.

Today’s article is a bit of a public service announcement, a bit funny (at least I think), and a bit of tip for beginner golfers. I understand that this is a bit of long shot, yet I think after you read my article you will see that I hit the mark. First, let me offer the suggestion that around the golf course there are many amenities that many golfers either do not understand what they are for or just don’t use them…..properly. I am not trying to point fingers at anyone, but during my last round I witnessed something that made me laugh and shake my head at the same time.
