Good swings still need good decisions

Feb 09, 2026

A lot of golfers focus only on making better swings.
But scoring also comes down to better decisions.

I’ve seen players hit the ball solid all day and still struggle because they were aiming at pins they had no business going after. Once we adjusted targets, scores dropped without changing the swing.

Here’s the shift I want you to make:

  • Stop aiming at the perfect shot

  • Start choosing targets that leave room for error

  • Let smart decisions lower your scores

Try this:
On your next round, aim every approach shot to the safest part of the green — even when you’re feeling good.

If course management is something you want to sharpen, this is a conversation I love to have inside the Fairway Finder Community. Or reply and tell me where you feel like you give shots away.

Why touch shots feel so hard
Most golfers struggle around the greens because they’re trying to help the ball.That usually makes touch shots harder, not easier. I saw this with a player who was terrified of blading chips. Every motion slowed down, hands got involved, and contact suffered. Once we simplified the motion and trusted the club, the strike cleaned up immediately. Here’s the shift I want you to make: Stop try...
Ball flight isn’t a mystery
When ball flight changes day to day, most golfers assume something is wrong with their swing.More often, it’s a contact issue. I worked with a player who said, “I don’t know why it goes left one day and right the next.” Once we shifted the focus to where the club was contacting the ground, the ball flight started to make sense. Here’s the shift I want you to make: Stop reacting to ball flight...
