  • Many people make the mistake of focusing on the flag instead of where they want to land the ball.
  • It is important to choose the right club based on the desired landing area.
  • Always aim for the landing area and allow for some roll towards the pin.
  • Experiment with different clubs and consider factors like green speed and slopes.
  • Chip and run shots can be effective by landing the ball near the desired spot and letting it roll.
  • High risk shots like tossing a sand wedge should be avoided unless necessary.
  • Focus on the landing area, not the end result area.
