Chart your fairways and which way you miss

The instructor has the student track every drive on a scorecard: mark an X and note whether the fairway was missed to the left or the right, and a check mark when the fairway is hit. The point is that driving can look okay while the stats reveal the reality of how many fairways are actually missed.

Try it

  1. When you miss the fairway, mark an X and indicate whether you missed it to the left or the right
  2. Check marks when you hit the fairways.

Why this context matters

From a mental-game lesson; the student had hit only 4 of 14 fairways.
