Shape Your Shots

If the cup is cut left, aim for the center of the green and draw the ball towards the flag stick. The same holds true for a pin cut right, hit a fade. If your shot does not go as planned and the ball goes straight, you are still on the middle of the green.
To hit a draw (right-hand-er) square your club with the target and align yourself to the right of the target (closed stance). Swing along your normal swing path. Do the opposite to hit a fade.
