If a player has an excellent short game from 100-125 yards and is playing a par 5, that player should calculate the distance needed to be at that spot after their 2nd shot. For example, on a 520 yard hole the players tee shot is 220 yards. That leaves 300 yards to the green. Remember, straight and short is usually better that long and in the woods. Concentration is Key Concentration can be the secret to a successful game.
Many amateur golfers have no system when it comes to concentration.
Some waste valuable time thinking about the wrong things before their shot. Often golfers worry about outcomes, which means they have already passed the important first steps of mental concentration. This type of thought can really cause mental fatigue which may eventually lead to even more negative outcomes. On the other hand you have amateurs who will walk up and take the shot without even thinking about it. This can be just as much of a problem.
