It s usually some kind of make-shift shot that won t impress anyone. It might have an unimpressive flight and even make a tinny noise at impact. But it will go reasonably straight, be there again if you need it, and probably begin to restore a sense of control. When I was a young player, whenever I ran into players better than I was, I tried to learn something from them. I got dusted quite a bit in my early years on the tour, in tournaments and money matches, but I usually took something I could use away from the experience.
Scorers know that imitation is the best way to learn.
In this regard, I recommend playing with the better players whenever you can. It will establish in your mind a level that you can strive to reach, you ll be exposed to new things, and if you pay attention, you ll get better. Understand Angles Scorers know the most efficient route to get around a golf course. The key to keeping the ball in play and leaving the easiest possible shot is in understanding angles. Off the tee, take into account what your shot pattern is, and what side of the fairway it s best to be on.
