Bubbie Golf receives a comprehensive coaching session from Scott Fawcett, the founder of Decade Golf. The instruction focuses on 'efficient practice' using alignment stations to fix path issues and a tiered chipping drill to master carry distances. Fawcett also introduces the 'Tiger 5' strategy to help Bubbie lower his 4.4 handicap toward scratch by minimizing mental and strategic errors.
Always use an alignment rod during block practice to identify real ball-flight tendencies.
Ball position drastically affects club path; moving the ball too far back in the stance often promotes an unintended draw/hook.
Calibrate your short game by practicing carry distances in 2-yard increments rather than hitting toward a specific hole.
The 'Tiger 5' strategy tracks specific mistakes: bogies on par 5s, doubles, three-putts, bogies with 9-iron or less, and blown easy saves.
The driver is the only club in the bag designed for a single shape; don't try to work it both ways if you are fit for a specific shot shape.
