Not only do the guys talk about strategy on the course, but they also discuss some of the times when strategy is important. For example, if your normal distance would land the ball where there are lots of divots in the fairway, Scott suggests you maybe lay up short of there and hit a longer iron into the green. Jeff, of course, rales against the stupid rule that you cannot repair a divpt or drop your ball if you land in one

Adopt course-management habit of choosing shot locations that produce an easier next shot (e.g., aim for a position where the following shot is makeable and downhill/upright preference) and reinforce this with on-course practice

Confirm hole yardage before playing a hole in an event (e.g., check current yardage for 16th prior to playing Pro Am) so club selection and strategy are accurate

Practice and develop consistent club-face control and repeatable short-game touches at a nearby practice area to improve ability to place approach shots and chips where desired
