When hitting the fairway’s a must

Remember these three keys when you need to hit the fairway:

1) Bench your driver. When there’s big trouble left or right, it’s worth sacrificing distance to avoid a big number. 2) Use your practice swing.Amateurs tend to make careless practice swings. Make use of this opportunity to swing all the back and through to a good finish. 3) Play your stock shot. Go with the shot you know you can hit. And don’t overswing. Go at 75 percent—just nice and easy like your practice swing.
