What is the key to improving precision and control in golf shots?

—The key is to focus on aiming at the target rather than fixating on obstacles. By aligning yourself with the target, you can improve shot accuracy and control.

How can reading greens be made easier?

—One helpful technique is to imagine pouring water on the green and observe the direction it would flow. This can provide insights into the slope and break of the green, helping you read the putt more accurately.

Why is aiming at the center of your shot dispersion important?

—Aiming at the center of your shot pattern ensures that even if your shot deviates to the left or right, you are still in a good position. It helps improve shot consistency and allows for better course management.

How can one manage expectations and reduce pressure on the golf course?

—Instead of always trying to make birdies, focus on avoiding double bogeys. This mindset shift helps you approach shots with less pressure and manage your expectations more effectively.
