PGA Professionals James Robinson and Chris Dennis from Get Good At Golf share five essential strategy tips to hit more greens in regulation on par 3s. The lesson covers target selection, selecting proper club yardages without ego, accounting for wind, maintaining balanced swing tempo, and fully committing to every shot.
Aim for the center of the green rather than hunting flags to increase landing room and lower overall score variance.
Choose your club based on real distances and environmental conditions, leaving bravado and peer comparisons behind.
Adjust club selection and aim point for wind speed and direction, as rangefinder yardages only tell half the story.
Focus on smooth balance and controlled tempo ('slow is smooth, smooth is fast') over maximum power.
Block out nearby hazards once over the ball and commit 100% to your selected shot plan.
