There is one thing that all beginner golf players have in common. That is when they play a round of golf they cannot avoid at least one hole that ends in disaster. Often a beginner will be able to play reasonable golf, shooting around two over par every hole, then disaster will strike in the form of an 8 or higher. Typical beginner golf instruction focuses on the swing. The truth is that these costly holes can be avoided with some simple course management strategies. Here are the top 4 course management tips.
1. Don't use a driver on a par 4 or 5 unless you can reach the green in 2 shots. Usually a poor hole starts from a poor tee shot. The driver is the hardest club in the bag to control. The best players in the world only hit the fairway around 70% of the time. What would your average be? If you had to chip the ball out of the trees or even worse: take a penalty then your score increases by at least one anyway. So by hitting driver off the tee you are taking a risk that does not have adequate reward. You will need to play a 3rd shot anyway to reach the green.
2. Tee the ball up on the correct side of the tee. Most beginner golfers simply place their ball in the middle of tee before driving. Did you know that where you place your ball can determine the success of your tee shot? Allow me to explain, if you slice the ball you need to stand on the right side of the tee. Your ball always starts left and moves right. By hitting from the right side of the tee box you effectively give yourself more room to the left to be able to move the ball. The opposite is true for players who hook the ball. You need to stand on the left of the tee to give yourself the best angle.
3. Take 1 more club hitting into the green. This is a good tip for all players. Most players overestimate how far they hit the ball. A majority of shots you hit finish short of the target whether they are struck well or not. By taking an extra club, you can swing easy ensuring better contact and flight control.
4. Use the ground for the short game. Where possible try to use the ground as much as possible for your short game shots. If you can putt from off the green, putt. If you can use a hybrid or wood to hit the ball close to ground, do that. If you can chip and run, do that. Avoid shots that fly a majority of the distance. These shots require perfect strike and flight to be consistent. Most beginners do not have the correct technique to play pitches and lobs very well.
