If you are playing on a day where everything is going all right, then you can play one way, but 80 percent of the time you go out there, you're not at your best, so you've got to find a way to score. All your pro players are able to play badly and still make par. I think average players need to find out what their par is. Par 72 is only a number for golf professionals. Most amateurs should be shooting at 90.
Golf is really a pretty simple game, but most people fight it.
You just want to find the easiest way around the golf course and keep the ball in play. People with 18 or higher handicaps, for instance, really have no business hitting a driver. If they would go with a 3-wood off the tee, they would be much more productive over a season of golf. I've always agreed with Jackie Burke, that you work from the green back to the tee. If you can't make it from 3 feet, don't move to 4.
