Question: I'm Often Short on My Approach Shots - How Can I Improve My Club Selection?
Answer: Gary's Quick Tips:

It's very important to have your yardages written down.

Most amateur golfers have no idea how far they actually hit the ball, because most believe they hit their shots farther than they really do.

When we play golf, we are half player and half caddie. Take the time to prepare for every shot. Confidence comes from knowing our abilities and limitiations, so take the time to figure out your real distances.
