When I'm playing a tournament, I like to use Google Earth to give myself an idea of what I would like to do during my round(s). I'll typically try to pin-point trouble I can reach from the tee and which club I should be hitting... and then what club I'd like to have in for my approach shot. I'll then decide which side of the green is safer and whether long or short would be a better miss.
In my head... this is all good. I get myself psyched to play, believing that if I just hit the shots as I know I am capable of hitting, I should make no worse than a bogey.
I then get to the course... and if I'm hitting my driver well on the range... I tend to abandon my game plan. If I try to stick to my game plan (which typically calls for a lot of 4 irons from the tee for safety) and I mishit a shot, I'll leave myself way too long into a green and once I do that... I abandon my game plan.
I need to stick with what I know should work and stop quitting on myself.
Do you game plan? Do you stick to it, regardless of how you're playing? Do you believe it would be beneficial to stick to a game plan or switch it up to become more aggressive if you're "feeling it" during a round?
