Here's Today's Tip... Making Easy Pars!
Most golfers unconsciously make the game a lot harder than it has to be.
It’s the rare few who know how to simplify each hole and make it look easy.
So…what’s their secret?
Most golfers automatically assume that the best strategy is to go for as much distance as possible off the tee leaving themselves a short approach. They believe that by leaving themselves a short approach they will be able to improve their accuracy and set themselves up with a make-able birdie putt.
But what REALLY
happens is often quite different. Many golfers who strive for maximum distance off the tee find themselves addressing approach shots that are far from optimal. Behind the trees, in the deep rough, or even in a hazard.
Smart players know that the SECRET to making easy pars often lies in flipping this conventional wisdom on it’s head. Instead of focusing on distance off the tee they club down to a fairway wood or hybrid and focus on accuracy - deferring the challenge of hitting the longer shot to their approach.

When it comes time to hit their approach shot they may have a longer iron or even a hybrid club in their hand, but they can swing with confidence since they’ve positioned themselves in the fairway with a good look at the green. Even a slight miss from will likely land them near the green with a decent chance at an up and down.
At the end of the day it only takes one great shot to make a par. That can certainly be a great drive, but for many golfers it’s more likely to be a great approach, a magical chip, or a well rolled putt.

If you tried to book a Saturday morning tee time recently and found yourself staring at a screen that looked more like a sold-out Taylor Swift concert than a municipal golf course, you aren’t alone. According to a year-end message from the National Golf Foundation (NGF), more people are playing golf in more ways than at any time in recorded history. For the crusty veteran who misses the days of the four-hour round and empty fairways, this might sound like a nightmare. But for anyone who loves the vitality, future, and "cool factor" of our sport, we are officially living in the Golden Age of Golf. Here is what the numbers actually mean for your game, your wallet, and that lukewarm hot dog at the turn.
The calendar page is about to flip, and with it, the conversation that's been bubbling beneath the surface of the golf world is set to boil over: Tiger Woods turns 50 on December 30th.

As President of Imagen Golf, I've spent years analyzing swings, but with Tiger, we're not just looking at a swing—we're analyzing the DNA of a champion's competitive spirit, and that is where the real story lies.
