In today’s era of modern golf courses that feature massive greens and severe undulations, it may be time to rethink the importance of the traditional stat, greens in regulation. In this episode of the PluggedInGolf Podcast, Matt delves into the data and offers a simple three-step solution to smarter target selection on the course.
The first step in this process is to assess the size and undulations of the greens on the course you are playing. Understanding the layout of the greens can help you make better decisions on where to aim your shots in order to maximize your chances of hitting the green in regulation.
The second step is to analyze your own strengths and weaknesses as a player. By knowing which parts of your game are strong and which need improvement, you can tailor your target selection to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
The third and final step is to create a plan of attack for each hole based on the information gathered in the first two steps. By having a clear strategy for how you will approach each hole, you can increase your chances of hitting the green in regulation and lowering your scores.
By following these three steps, you can update your strategy on the course and improve your overall performance. This data-driven approach to target selection can give you a competitive edge and help you make smarter decisions on the course.
