Introduction- Live Strategy
Watching a pro golf tournament live is a perfect way to spend a few days of entertainment with fellow avid golfers. So, if you ever have the opportunity to watch a professional golf tournament....take it!
These tournaments include the PGA, LPGA, & the Senior Tours.
Future Tours and the Buy.com Tours also schedule competitions throughout the country. There are also golf tournaments' regional tours, also called "mini-tours."
If you can't afford to get to any of the above mentioned tournaments, then you can check out the games on television too.
There's always something on.
Not only do the major sports channels like ESPN carry professional tournaments, but you can also subscribe to any number of 24-hour golf channels that air today.
As I've stated in other of my minireports, it's not always easy or practical to emulate the pros at, but watching can sure be good entertainment!
Your Clubs
A. Measuring
Do you know how each of your clubs will perform during ideal conditions (distance wise)? In the past, golfers would just go by feel when choosing a club for their shots....
But, by now, you probably realize just how effective it is to know your clubs, so to speak. You need to know them so that you can hit your ball as close to the intended target as possible.
If you do not have a clear idea of approximately how far you will hit the ball with each of your clubs, you will repeatedly hit shots that are either too far or too short. And, your scorecard will show it...
Do yourself a favor and take the time to remove the guesswork. Not only will your score improve, but your accuracy & concentration levels will increase as well.
Even though specific clubs are designed for long shots & others for short ones, the distance that different players can hit with the very same club can vary tremendously.
This is why so many beginner golfers do not get the results that they want from a club that is supposed to hit the ball a certain distance. It varies by player.
The best way to learn what you can accomplish with each specific club is to find a large field that is big enough to handle the distance of your longest drive. Make sure that it isn't too windy & make sure that the field is empty (for obvious safety reasons).
In order to measure the distance correctly, you need to measure it in yards. First, take out a yardstick & lay it on the ground. Take one step forward & see see how many yards (or more likely fraction of A yard) you've step covers.
Now, take out each club & hit 7 to 10 shots with every one. After each shot, measure the distance by pacing off how far each ball traveled.
All you have to do now is convert the distance of each ball from your paces to yards to learn exactly how many yards each one of your clubs will likely hit the ball during a game.
Make sure you record the average distance that each club hits it for.
Average is best because you never know what could happen. But, long term, things ALL tend toward averages.
B. Room For Error

A real golf game will not have the same ideal conditions that you used during your tests. You'll never be able to make contact with the ball perfectly square & hit the sweet spot every time.
But, since you recorded an average above, you'll have a pretty good idea of a general range of where the ball will land. And if you are playing against regular players, it's doubtful they've EVER done the exercise in A. above.
Now that you have an idea of how far each of your clubs will cause the ball to go, your strategic planning abilities should improve tremendously.
A lot of the guesswork is now taken out of your shots. You now have knowledge of your capabilities in terms of how far you can hit the ball with whatever club you should choose to use.
