Play the Shot Well

Wherever your ball is at, on the fairway or in the rough, every consideration should be given as to how you intend to play the following shot.  Don’t just hit the ball towards the green, play the shot you’ve got the greatest chance of playing well.  Instead of playing a 4-iron out of deep rough, play an 8 iron to make certain you get back on the fairway.

Let’s repeat:  Play the shot you’ve got the greatest chance of playing well !
