We all make the wrong club choice at times. It’s indecision or debating club selection while standing over the ball that often leads to miss hits.

And then top or duff it. I sometimes suggest them to work on their hybrid game a bit but aparently hitting 2 out of 10 half decent 3w shots is good enough.. “oh no, I am terrible with hybrids!” Well, you ain’t so hot with that 3w either..

Leaving it short..yes, an issue. I often choose to be on the short side as the roughs are a killer at my course. Even when it rolls of the green into the rough it can be hard to find the ball. I hate losing balls more than being short. I am however sort of over the “yeah, I can get get there with this club!” attitude
