Hitting it Straight
April 21, 2009 by admin
photo credit: Playadura* The subject that every golfer seems to be obsessed with is “distance.” We're all seeking ways to hit longer shots, especially off the tee. Could it be that, through advertising hype, we have been convinced that longer is better. I say length is secondary to accuracy.
Most golfers do play within their means with all their shots except the tee shot and that is when they “unload.” Blasting your tee shot can lead to only one thing, missed fairways. Question: Would you rather be in the rough or in the middle of the fairway, even if you are 15 yards shorter than you would like to be? Most players would love to hit every shot straight, why not just swing within your means?
John,
On every account, accuracy is the single most important thing in golf. Without accuracy
where would any PGA Professional be? Don’t concern yourself with hitting it long just make
sure you hit fairways and get on the greens in regulation (if possible). Once you do that
you’ll be at the top of your game.

Accuracy is by far the most important aspect of a great golf game.
There have been plenty of short hitters that were champions because
of their high degree of accurate shots.
