Wasted Shots

photo credit: Kelowna09   Every golfer, amateur or Pro, knows what it feels like to waste a shot.  A “wasted shot” is any shot that you could have avoided for any number of reasons.  Some examples are:  topping the ball, slice, hook, shank, chunk, choosing the wrong club etc.  When these type of shots occur they almost always cause anger and regret.  

Keep in mind that Harry Vardon once said ” I’m happy if I hit seven really good shots per round.”  This means that bad shots are to be expected during every round you play.  

If you make a wasted shot, put it immediately out of your mind and think of how to play the next shot.  Just try to ignore bad shots, no matter how bad they are.
