re: After hitting a bad shot, what’s next?

One thing I remember my uncle telling me when I first sstarted was the best way to drop strokes from my game was to improve from 100 yds in and no matter where I play, what the conditions are or how bad my day is if I have that, it travels anywhere and can always be a fallback.

Driver not working -> start hitting a 3wd, 5wd or ling iron off the tee

Approach game off -> take one less club on every approach shot and miss short rather than pin high or long

Miss badly on a tee shot and need to get back in play -> look to get inside 100 yds as easily as possible
