To improve your performance in competition, learn to choose high-percentage shots. Poor performance in golf is often simply a matter of choosing too many low-percentage shots. High-percentage shots will vary based on each golfer's individual skill level, strength and weaknesses. To determine your high-, medium- and low-percentage shots, ask yourself the following questions: "If I hit 10 shots from here, how many times could I pull it off?" High Percentage: 7 to 10 out of 10 Medium Percentage: 4 to 6 out of 10 Low Percentage: 3 to 0 out of 10 Top performers in golf understand the importance of choosing high-percentage shots. When determining which shot to choose in any given situation, they will normally choose the highest-percentage shot possible. If you have any problem understanding or implementing these concepts, contact your local PGA golf professional or qualified instructor. He/she can help you get more out of your game.
