To equalize the playing field, sharpen-up on your approach shots.  Your accuracy will more than make up for your lack of distance.  After you’ve beaten your opponent, to their amazement, they will wonder “how it happened.”

Instead of spending hours on the practice range trying to improve your length, take that time to practice shots of 100 yards or less.  Doing so will level the playing field and allow you to compete fairly with “King Kong.”
