I am a big guy and hit the ball far so course management is important because the further you hit a ball the further out of bounds it can go on a mis hit. For a while i would tell myself "if i could only get off the tee with my driver i'd be a scratch golfer". Then finally i decided to give course management a try. I have been hitting 3i (do not carry anything between driver and 3i) off of any tee box where I see danger. I am closer than ever to shooting my first round even par. Yesterday I shot a 74 +2 at my home course and I give a lot of credit to course management. There is something to be said for being comfortable over every shot rather than feeling hard pressed to hit a long tee shot or long approach on a par 5. We all know how hard that one bad shot makes the next one.
