The next time you play a round I encourage you to try and hit the ball to the middle of the green and not to go flag hunting. When you go flag hunting and you miss the green you will leave yourself with a very difficult up and down, and could end up making double bogey instead of par.

If you choose to hit the middle of the green the target is bigger and that takes away unnecessary stress. If you hit a good shot it will be on the green and you just need to two putt for par…

You will see that your ball ends up closer to the pin by going for the middle than it would have if you tried to hit it in the hole from 150 m out.

Don’t forget to practice, it is important.
