Part of the key to successful driving is to plan your strategy for each hole. Important points to consider - lie of terrain, yardage to target, avoid hazards and trouble spots, monitor the wind speed.

Think Ahead - Always think one shot ahead, if the ball doesn't go in the hole then where will it stop?
