The Importance of Strategy in Golf
Strategy in Golf should be ALL that we are thinking about when we are PLAYING the game. The other five Golf Swing Basics (relaxing, watching the ball, balance and footwork or ”setup”, proper grip and proper stroke) should be worked on in your practice sessions ONLY. This will reduce the amount of stress and frustration you experience on the course and help you to enjoy the game more.
Strategy is simply planning ahead for each shot that you make. It includes three decisions:
1. The correct point on the course to aim your ball to go towards
2. The correct club to use for the distance you need to hit the ball
3. How long of a swing to take
Your goal should be to maximize your realistic physical capability for that day and minimize the number of strokes needed to finish the hole. Your best Strategy in Golf for your own ability level will many times not be the same as someone elses.
