Be Conservative

The surest way to play good golf is to try to maintain a steady, consistent attitude.  In almost every case, this can be accomplished by playing conservatively.  Approach each shot from a conservative point of view.  Instead of trying to “bomb” a 3-metal 270 yards, swing easier and be happy with 230 yards.  Maintaining a conservative attitude can and will work wonders for your game.
