Many players think that concentration means being buried in serious swing thoughts and making every effort to hit each shot perfectly. . . not so. The perfect place to “think” about the details of your swing is on the practice range where no strokes are at stake.
True concentration is the ability to keep your mind clear of all foreign and disturbing thoughts that could interfere with your ability to swing naturally. Achieving full concentration is very difficult for most players but for a few, the power of concentration made them into champions.

On the range, the 8-iron is a no-brain-er, it is the easiest club in the bag to use. With the club’s high loft, getting the ball airborne is done with ease; shot accuracy is the norm rather than the exception. The 8-iron should be the most useful club in your golf bag because of it’s versatility.
A golfer can recover from errant drives, fairway woods or long iron shots but if you miss an 8-iron shot you are going to lose a stroke. This short iron, should be your “go-to” club. It can be used for approach shots, shots from the rough, chip shots, pitch shots, bunker shots, pitch and run shots etc. Drop your handicap, learn how to use an 8-iron.

The course is something that must be managed and played with utmost consideration. Each course has it’s own personality and should be approached accordingly.
The strokes can be controlled by your own ability to play each and every golf shot to the best of your ability. With enough practice and plenty of thought beforehand, your shot total can be kept to a minimum.
Opponents add an unknown dimension because, like courses, each opponent is different. A worthy opponent should bring out the very best in you as a golfer.
