    Yeps, ... with my 18.9 hcp at the moment ... most things are in the system. I do quite a lot of practice rounds and then I deviate as some things need to be practiced. When score would be goal 1 ... then ... of course "this is the way". 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

  • @kakimotoK20

    This was nice, it made me want to go play. I don't play conservative. When I was much newer to golf, if my driver was acting up sometimes I tried pulling out a 5 iron instead and would proceed to still go in the woods but much shorter. I think things like that (trying to play conservative but ending up in worse shape) kept me from trying to play safe. But ya know, I never did it for more than one shot at a time lol. I'm just now realizing, from this video, that if I PRACTICED playing safe I'd probably get better at it. Looking forward to trying this, hope I don't forget by the time it warms up.

    • @GolfSidekick

      you will find the balance between conservative and aggressive as you begin thinking in a new way
      you will combine both to suit yourself and drop to a single figure handicap
