Strategize For Lower Scores
John Ashton, Jeff Smith, and Scott Monroe discuss golf strategies and conditions. They highlight the challenges of playing in cold weather, including snow in Florida and frost delays. They emphasize the importance of adapting to course conditions, such as using the right clubs and strategies for short par-4s. Scott shares his experience of using hybrids and knowing exact distances. They also stress the value of practice, course knowledge, and using technology like GPS to improve game strategy. The conversation concludes with tips on mental preparation and the benefits of having a variety of clubs for different conditions.

Show Notes
Not only do the guys talk about strategy on the course, but they also discuss some of the times when strategy is important. For example, if your normal distance would land the ball where there are lots of divots in the fairway, Scott suggests you maybe lay up short of there and hit a longer iron into the green. Jeff, of course, rales against the stupid rule that you cannot repair a divpt or drop your ball if you land in one
Adopt course-management habit of choosing shot locations that produce an easier next shot (e.g., aim for a position where the following shot is makeable and downhill/upright preference) and reinforce this with on-course practice
Confirm hole yardage before playing a hole in an event (e.g., check current yardage for 16th prior to playing Pro Am) so club selection and strategy are accurate
Practice and develop consistent club-face control and repeatable short-game touches at a nearby practice area to improve ability to place approach shots and chips where desired
