Up-and-down % = scrambles ÷ missed GIR × 100.

Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Clean Grooves

    Clean club grooves before every round — dirty grooves reduce spin and control.

  • Ball Selection

    Use one ball model consistently — different balls fly and spin differently.

  • Cart Path Rules

    Keep carts on paths when wet — tire ruts damage fairways and are repairable penalties.

Safety Notes

  • Yell 'Fore!' immediately if your ball heads toward other players.
  • Stay alert during thunderstorms — golf courses are exposed to lightning.
