Best Book on Course Management
Posted on 3/25/21 at 9:27 am
Posted on 3/25/21 at 9:27 am
I need a recommendation for a book on course management (playing, not finances and greens keeping). My daughter just took an assistant coaching position at a local high school. This was never a strength of her game. So I thought I would get her a good read on the subject before she takes the post.

She should read Every Shot Counts.
Author is the guy who created the strokes gained stats. SO he explains that in detail, where is the best areas to improve for impact on score, and also gives tons of practice drills for chipping and putting.

Actually it's not a spoiler.
For amateurs, the best way to reduce the biggest amount of strokes is outside 100 yards

250 in the fairway is better than 300 yards in the woods.
Why do you want to back the ball up when you're always short of the pin ?
Sweep the grass !

70% of amateur shots are taken from 125 yards and in. Seems hard to believe amateurs can have the most improvement on such a small portion of the game.

Once you remove putts inside of 3 feet, it's only 40% of shots are inside of 125 yards. And then you have those 20-30 foot putts that even tour players don't make all that often, it becomes less and less.
You start to look at how much can you actually improve on a 20 foot putts vs hitting the green from 150 or not hitting that drive in the trees, it adds up way more on being able to improve from outside of 125 if you want to improve your scores. Highest correlation to score is GIR, and that's usually not from 125 and in.

This is 100% false and Broadie’s book explains this exact paradigm. The largest correlation to score is iron play.
Good at irons.. hit closer to home, more likely to make putts and easier short game shots

I play as a single often and see a lot of different amateurs. Plenty of guys can boom it off the tee only to take 4-5 shots inside 100 yards.
Can’t remember the last time I saw a guy that struggled with mid-to-short irons and was good inside 100.

Wouldn't iron play be shots > 100 yards

Depends on the handicap of the player. The 18+ handicap guys just have a really hard time getting to the green. They 10-12 handicap guys get it to the green okay but don't chip and putt it well enough to get to 6-7 handicap stuff. From 6 down to scratch is all about being more consistent is every phase and having a killer short game.

I would say that is correct for midrange handicaps. If you are high handicapper you could work on anything but getting off the tee reliably with decent distance is a first step. For midrange HC's hitting greens in regulation is the biggest improvement.
