What is the best match-play strategy?

Match play golf is not quite a gladiatorial encounter or combat sport between two people rather it is a perfect mix of tactics, psychology, instinct and golfing ability under pressure. Some players are they are very difficult, if not almost impossible, to beat. One only has to think of Ian Poulter in his Ryder Cup singles, where he is just the most formidable competitor, yet he hasn't in stroke play shown the same level of brilliance that we have seen in his singles matches. In today's podcast, we explore strategies for giving ourselves the edge.  

There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but perhaps there are one or two things we can all benefit from understanding and applying in the game. For example, do you play your opponent, or do you play the golf course? Does it help you if you get mad at your opponent and make it personal? 

In some parts of the world, it is a more popular format than stroke play, and there are some clubs where it is almost played exclusively. At its best, it can be a tension-packed shot-by-shot encounter where it is never over until it's over.

In today's podcast, Robin Sieger and Mike Kershaw. Put their theories and thoughts to the test.
