You practice lots of shots with different clubs so you\u2019ll know just which shot to hit with what club for each situation you\u2019ll find. Most of the time, that\u2019s the smart way to play. Unless there\u2019s no option, the pros won\u2019t play a shot they haven\u2019t practiced many times before. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, sometimes you hit a shot that turns out uncommonly well. It felt easy, and it feels like you can do it again and again. So go ahead.<\/p>\n
Did you just hit a pured 6-iron? Believe in this club and hit it again as soon as you can. Did it work out again? Now hit that club as often as you can the rest of the round. Give yourself opportunities by laying back on shorter par 4s and on the par 5s.<\/p>\n
Did you just fly a chip to a few feet from the hole with a lofted wedge? Keep hitting it that shot with that club, even if you would normally do something else. <\/p>\n
Performance is all about confidence. If you find something on the course that gives you confidence, ride it for all it\u2019s worth. It could be a shot, or a club. It could be a thought. Just take every advantage of what helps you perform your best. <\/p>\n
The next time you play, try that thing again, but if it doesn\u2019t work, let it go and start looking for the next one.<\/p>\n
