I could have tried to hook the ball around and roll it up onto the green. Buttttt, there was water to the left, and of course those pesky trees in front of me. So what do I do? Just punch it up to about 70 out, and then go all out on the next shot, and save par. |
This is exactly what I mean when I say I never intend to follow a bad shot with a worse one. Your tee shot didn't turn out so great so you made sure that the next shot was one that was not worse. Saving par is likely while making worse than bogey is highly unlikely. This is what causes people to shoot low scores.
