Don’t Play It Too Safe

        Sometimes when you play too safe with one shot, you set yourself up for an extremely difficult and dangerous next shot. For example, if you’re too cautious off the tee with a 2-iron when you should have used a 3-wood, you effectively change the next shot’s degree of difficulty. Along those same lines, if you’re aggressive on the front end of your plan, make sure you’re aggressive on the back end (unless circumstances suddenly change). It’s foolish to play safe and then, on a whim, go for broke.
