Not A Scratch Golfer breaks down a round of 75, proving that low scores don't require a perfect swing. By emphasizing 'improving your misses' and strategic target selection, he demonstrates how sound course management can overcome multiple mishits and a double bogey.
Aim small, miss small: Always pick a specific target rather than just looking down the fairway.
Prioritize being pin-high: The most common amateur mistake is missing short; select clubs that ensure you reach the green even on a slight mishit.
Manage your 'miss': Identify the trouble on a hole (water, bunkers) and deliberately aim to miss on the safe side.
Mental resilience: Don't let a bad shot or a 'nightmare' hole like a double bogey derail your focus for the rest of the round.
Ego-free club selection: Choose clubs based on realistic distances and safety rather than trying to muscle a shorter iron to the green.
