I have a few rules which I'm terrible at implementing. In theory, these rules will prevent me from putting up any big numbers - if I could ever make myself follow them.

They're pretty obvious, but I wanted to see if anyone had any others.

Rule 1:
On a strange course or a hole where you know there's trouble behind, do not hit a club that could potentially fly the green. Obviously, there's never any guarantee due to hitting it thin, but if you think the club is an easy 7 or a hard 8, take the hard 8. If it winds up a little short, no big deal (assuming no trouble short of course).

Rule 2:
If you make a bad shot, ensure it's not followed by another bad shot by taking the safest shot possible on your next shot. Do not try to flop it over the bunker into the short landing area next to the pin to try to miraculously save par. Instead, bump and run it out past the sandtrap, where you have an easy chip, and a reasonable chance of getting up and down and a reasonable chance of saving a bogey.

Any others?
