Aim at a wider target instead of the flag

The video's central course-management principle: instead of always attacking the flag, play to your strengths and aim at a wider target so you can commit to and make your swing. The coach found that hunting the flagstick forces errors, while giving himself a wider target makes it much easier to hit good shots. The best players he sees don't attack, they play their game and give themselves chances.
