The Aim vs Target Problem Every Golfer Makes #golf #golfer #golftips

Scott Fawcett, creator of the DECADE system, explains the critical difference between 'aim' and 'target' in golf strategy. He advocates for defining a specific start line and committing to an aggressive swing toward that spot, rather than making tentative swings when playing away from hazards.

• Distinguish between 'Target' (your intended start line) and 'Aim' (where you want the ball to finish).
• On the range, practice hitting to the same target repeatedly to learn how to center your shot pattern.
• Avoid 'non-committed swings' when aiming away from flags; play aggressively to your chosen spots.
• The goal is to center your natural dispersion pattern over your target rather than trying to steer every shot to a specific hole location.
