Hey guys,
For something different my normal weekend group have decided to play another local course for something different this weekend for comp which got me thinking when you visit a new course for the first time, or as a one off for club competition how do you play it?
Normally if I head somewhere else it is for a social round with friends, meaning no 'club' competition so I don't really give it a second thought, but if you are heading somewhere to play that clubs weekly competition do you think differently when playing?
Being stableford that gives me the confidence to think if I wipe a hole it isn't the end of the world, where as if I was playing stroke I'm almost certain I'd be protective of my shots to ensure I minimized as much risk as possible.
Be interested to know your thoughts about how you play, if you play differently by using the numbers to just put it in the safe zones or take the course on.
Cheers, Met.
