Mid-round checks

2.

Alignment is 100 per cent something you should be constantly checking and pros aren’t immune to that – I set up badly sometimes. Alignment should be the first thing you check.

Then I would say most club golfers don’t take enough club. That’s a constant among club golfers. The number of times I play with my dad and he says, “My 7-iron goes 140” and I say, “Dad, it carries 110 at best!” I see it all the time.

Amateurs tend to get away from sticking to ‘their’ shot too much, too. Most club golfers have a bias – they have their one typical shot – and every now and then they try to get away from it and try something different, rather than sticking to what they’re good at and what they know, which I think is very important.
