How Far Did You Say I was From The Green?

By Mary Zelinski


Some of these golf training aids are suggested to be made use of in the center of winter or at the practice variety, be it in a dome, your garage, or right on the course. Course management is said to be the number one item that can either enhance or decrease your golf score.

One of my favorite golf training helps is the Garmin Golf Watch. Exactly what that suggests is if you go to a golf course that has been loaded into this watch and then begin playing golf, you can track the distance you walk (if you don't take a cart) and will know exactly how far you simply strike your last shot.

Well right here is the neat thing about the Garmin Golf Watch. I remember my golf watch. I look down at my watch and see that I have 165 yards to the front of the green, 169 yards to the center, and 177 yards to the back of the green.

Understanding that the tee is closer to the back of the green, I know that I need to get the ball about 170 yards out. Now imagine if I would have gone with my gut feeling about being 160 yards away. I most likely would have landed short of the green since my club option would have been one less than just what I really needed. Now that is exactly how I reduced my rating simply on that one hole.

So the following time that you hit an errant shot that is a few yards into the rough, you can walk up to the ball and will know right away exactly how far you should hit it to get to the green. Sometimes it is merely course management and choosing the right club for the scenario. Now as for the rest and lowering your rating, course management is all up to you.
