GETTING TO THE GREEN
To hit a ball to the green, first decide which club will hit it to the green with your best swing, then swallow your pride and use the next longest club and a more relaxed swing (instead of a 5-iron use a 4-iron). You'll be on the green far more often than you'll be over it. The ball will fly straighter too.
