How To Play Par-3s Smarter #golfswing #golftips

Golf instructors from Me and My Golf break down three common mistakes that cause golfers to fail on par-3s. Learn why teeing the ball lower, aiming for the middle of the green, and choosing clubs based on average carry distance rather than 'perfect' strikes will lead to more greens in regulation.

• Tee the ball lower (almost like a fairway lie) to avoid hitting high on the face and losing ball speed.
• Avoid flag hunting on par-3s; aim for the middle of the green to allow for a margin of error.
• Select clubs based on your average carry distance rather than your career-best distance.
• Plan your shots around your misses rather than expecting a perfect strike every time.
