Re: tips on targeting

Are you looking for distance control?

Assuming that you have a VERY consistant and reliable swing, distance control is based on practice. First, you need to know EXACTLY how far each club goes. From there, you need to know exactly how far your 3/4 swing goes with each club. How much distance does playing a draw vs. playing a fade vary for each club? Things like these can't be told to you, they are all something you have to work out at the range and it's not a short project.

Unless your handicap is under a 8 (or so), I would first base my attention to short game practice to the point of where you can chip it close enough to 1 putt and practice putting so that you are hitting 10 footers 8 out of 10 times.
