Play High Percentage Shots
To improve your golf performance, learn to choose high-percentage shots. Poor performance in golf often is a matter of choosing too many low-percentage shots.
High-percentage shots will vary from golfer to golfer, based on individual skill level, strength and weaknesses. To determine your high-, medium- and low- percentage shots ask yourself the following questions:
· If I hit 10 shots from here, how many times could I hit the shot that I am visualizing?
High Percentage 7 of 10 times
Medium Percentage 4 to 6 times
Low Percentage 3 to 0 times
· Where is the best place to miss this shot?
Short? Long? Left? Or Right?
· Is the risk worth the reward?
Is there as much to gain as there is to lose by attempting this shot.
Top performers in golf understand the importance of choosing high-percentage shots. When determining which shot to choose in any situation, they will tend to choose the highest percentage shot possible with the greatest reward.
