The Right Approach
The great Jack Nicklaus said to play the hole backwards in your mind from green to tee. Using this method of course management you can avoid a tricky approach shot. If your short pitch shots often lie way off the mark, try leaving yourself with a full approach shot. Or, if you are more accurate from within 50 yards plan a strategy around this. Accuracy is the key to scoring, not distance.
