Mental Mondays: Aim High

February 13, 2012

When faced with a long carry over a hazard, stop focusing on the ground, and instead pick a target line using a point well above the fairway such as a distant tree, or the top of the visible flagstick.

Thinking about the hazard—even thinking you’ve got to get over it—makes it much more likely that you’ll lose a ball.
