When you’re a beginner and someone tells you to avoid the sand on the right, it’s almost like speaking another language. Do they realize that just hitting the ball in the air is a win? While thinking about my game at this level was once unrealistic, now that I’m a couple of years in and have become more consistent, I have space to consider how different approaches to shots can save strokes.
Course management is like critical thinking on the golf course: figuring out where to aim, how to control your misses, and playing it safe when you need to be conservative. You can get pretty creative out there, which makes golf so much fun – and leads to lower scores.
