Track Stats
Log fairways, greens in regulation, and putts per round — data reveals weaknesses.
Warm Up Fully
Hit wedges, then mid-irons, then driver before the first tee — cold starts cost strokes.
Pace of Play
Be ready when it is your turn — slow play frustrates groups behind you.
Safety Notes
- Yell 'Fore!' immediately if your ball heads toward other players.
- Stay alert during thunderstorms — golf courses are exposed to lightning.
