Tip of the Week- Forget the pin

The obvious target when aiming at a green is the pin, but unless the pin is in the middle of the green it will usually be guarded by bunkers or mounding which if you get the distance of your shot wrong, will leave you with a tough up and down.

 

Try aiming for the centre of every green. This way if you miss your shot you will still more than likely be on the green with a chance of holing the putt rather than tough pitch or bunker shot.

 

So forget the pin, ignore it, your target is the middle of the green.
