When you have found your tee ball in an almost unplayable lie in the rough, have you ever hit your second shot in thoughtless anger?

One of the most costly mistakes you can make on the golf course is to let anger and carelessness become your master when you decide to play a sacrifice shot to escape from trouble.

When you elect to hit a shot out of trouble and back to the fairway, be certain to use the same concentration that you would on a regular shot.

Take your time and plan sacrifice shots from severe dilemmas with great care. It’s just one stroke—don’t let your temper and lack of focus cause you to have a disastrous hole.
