as Bob Rotella says in his book, "conservative strategy, cocky swing".

this has worked very well for me. first i analyze what part of the course i am looking to hit, i figure out where i can miss and where i cannot afford to miss the shot, then i figure out which is the best club to get me there, and when i finally go for my shot i go for it with a cocky attitude that i'm going to make that shot. course management/club management, know thyself.
