Scariest shots in golf
Overcoming hazards


Hitting a successful approach shot is tough enough when there’s smooth fairway surrounding the green. Add water to the mix and “tough” can easily morph into “scary”.

Swing technique and good ball striking go without saying, but there’s also a mental element to hitting over water hazards. It’s better to tell yourself where you want the ball to go (“onto the green”) than to tell yourself where you don’t want it to go (“into the water”). This kind of positive reinforcement helps you reduce tension and make a more natural swing.

Whether it’s a shot over the water, or from a deep bunker or on a tight fairway, the best way to overcome scary shots is to be prepared. We’re here to help you prepare with an improvement programme that’s based on your swing and game.
