The Detroit News Set your goals before you begin Different personalities play golf in different ways.
Some golfers play very conservatively.
On certain holes, this golfer might hit a shorter club off the tee to keep the ball in the fairway. This golfer will usually shoot at the middle of the greens, not necessarily at the pins. He will never attempt a shot that he's not reasonably sure he can successfully hit. As a result, this golfer will rarely shoot a super-low score. On the other hand, he will rarely stray far from par.
