Did you know there's a shot that none of us should try on the course? (January 2007)
By Roger Gunn
Did you know there's a shot that none of us should try on the course, whether you're a pro or an amateur? Any ideas what that shot might be?
The one shot you should never try on the course is the shot that you've never practiced. It's common when trying a new shot to find that the ball doesn't react quite like you thought it would. The golf course is no place to try to figure this out, especially when your score is on the line! One wrong choice can cost you a double or triple bogey, which none of us can afford. Choose only shots that you've played before, so you know what to expect. Take a few minutes after the round to practice that unusual shot, then you'll be ready for it next time. Leave those experimental shots for your opponents to try!
