One of the best ways to drop strokes from your golf score is to have a good ability to play trouble shots out on the course.

By trouble shots, I’m referring to the situations where you walk up and your first thought is “great, now what do I do?”

Some of the easy ones to practice are buried lies in bunkers, shots from light and heavy rough, upull, downhill and sidehill lies, hitting from the trees, hitting from hardpan and hitting from muddy lies or divots.

It’s situations like these that the average player struggles with and ultimately add shots to their score. Being prepared for any situation and knowing the right setup & alignment, ball position and club selection will help you to drop strokes from your golf score.
