INSIGHT

Scoring Beats A Perfect Swing

Most golfers don't need swing overhaul; they need tension control and better course strategy.
Will argues scoring ability under pressure matters more than a beautiful swing.

ADVICE

Train Hard, Play Easy

Train hard in practice but play easy on the course by lowering expectations and avoiding heroic plays.
Aim to make bogey instead of par and keep the ball in play to reduce blow-up holes.

ADVICE

Use The 100-Yard Scoring Zone

Break holes into simple goals like 'get to the 100-yard marker' and treat that as a win.
Use a checkmark scorecard to make decisions and reduce tension while playing.
