Episode 25 is a milestone, and Corey celebrates hitting 25 episodes and nearing 250 downloads before diving into a practical strategy discussion built around a real round. Instead of theory, he breaks down how he approaches holes by looking at the course map, identifying safe landing areas, and choosing targets that maximize good outcomes even when the swing does not cooperate. 

Corey walks through a par five where the fairway narrows near trouble and explains why he chose the “fat” landing area, how he recovered from a shank, and how net scoring changes the way a hole should feel when you get strokes. Then he breaks down a par three by mapping safe misses around bunkers and using a shot shape to create multiple acceptable results. Finally, he covers a par four where he plays for his miss, aims to remove the most dangerous trouble, and sets up an easier approach and chip. 

The big takeaway is that course strategy is not just about better decisions, it is also one of the best ways to get your mind off swing mechanics and back into playing golf the way it is meant to be played.
