Just this last weekend, we saw several examples of how developing and implementing a specific strategy led to success for the men at Royal St. George’s. Most who watch golf just assume the players are so good, they can just hit it where they want. Most of the time they can, but ALL players get nervous and therefore will favor a safer target in their strategy.

Ball striking will play just as important a part at this week’s Amundi Evian Championship as well, but believe it or not the champion on Sunday will be the woman who has the resilience to follow her plan of attack.

Everyone wants to hit the ball like a tour pro. This extends from booming drives to precisely struck, soaring iron shots that settle close to the pin.

That said, the irons TOUR pros play are rarely, if ever, the best-suited weapons for average amateurs as they wage war with old man par (as much as they attempt to convince themselves otherwise).

Xander Schauffele and Jon Rahm, for example, play Callaway’s Apex TCB irons. At the “elite player” end of the Apex 21 cavity back iron spectrum, TCB (Tour Cavity Back), irons feature a more compact shape and TOUR pro-preferred look at address as well as a weighting system more conducive to the needs of the best golfers in the world.

Over the years, players have encountered countless awkward bunker shots and struggled to escape. Check out some of the best all-time “golf is hard” moments featuring tricky bunker shots on the PGA TOUR.

SANDWICH, England – Jordan Spieth says “living in the external” is where he belongs, and it was the key to an impressive start at The 149th Open.

The former FedExCup champion continued his return to form this season, putting everyone on notice at Royal St. George’s with a very tidy 5-under 65 during the early wave.

The 2017 Open champion sat just one off the pace set by 2010 champion Louis Oosthuizen as he relied on feel and instinct, much like he did in his giant-killing years of 2015-2017 that yielded 10 victories.

His mastery of the blustery winds on the seaside links course helped provide six birdies over his last 14 holes including a run of four straight on the front nine but perhaps more impressive than the birdie barrage was the mentality the 12-time PGA TOUR winner showcased post round.
