Philosophy

The following ideas will get you started with changing the way you play the game.

Develop unparalleled short game skills in order to “save par” from anywhere.

• PGA Tour stats in 2025 for Greens In Regulation (GIR) was 66.56%, which means they are hitting 12 greens per round and miss 6 greens.
• PGA Tour Scrambling was 58.52%. On average, Tour Pros are only wasting 2 or 3 strokes a round when they miss the green.
• How are you doing?

Manage Risk vs. Reward from tee to green for each shot.

• What is the weight of a bogey? a double bogey? a triple bogey?

Learn how to look at a hole for the first time and dissect how to maneuver around the obstacles.

• If you can’t reach it…you can’t go in it. Choose a club that puts you safely in play and takes obstacles out of play.
• How do you get into a scoring position to use your strengths? (See point #5 below)

Use self-discipline to execute your game plan to keep from having those dreaded “blow-up” holes.

• Don’t make up for a bad shot on the same hole. Be patient and rely on your skills to make up for the bad stroke on another hole when the opportunity presents itself.
• When you do get into trouble, what mindset do you have for getting out? Do you guarantee NOT to get a double or worse by making another bad decision? (See point #2 above)
• Is your recovery game solid enough to play safe but still get a par?

Learn how to use YOUR skills to score without having to go through major swing changes.

• What are your specific strengths? What are your weaknesses?
• Do you have a game plan to capitalise on your strengths and stay away from your weaknesses? (See point #3 above)
