Article:
1. Hit it straight Nothing gets inside a long hitters head
faster then a fairway hitting opponent. Chances are the long
hitter is not the most accurate driver of the golf ball, keep
the heat on by hitting the fairway as much as possible. If you
have to use a hybrid club or a iron off the tee to keep the ball
in the fairway, the mental edge of hitting the fairway outweighs
the loss of distance.
2. Hit the green Most of if not all of the time you will be
hitting first, keep the heat on by hitting the green If he knows
you are looking at birdie putts all day, it starts to wear on him
3. Have a good short game The short game is the true equalizer
on the golf course. If you have a sharp short game you can
compete against any golfer on the planet.
4. Ignore his distance Accept the fact the he hits the ball 50
to 60 yards past you. If you accept the fact that distance
doesn't matter, you will have another psychological advantage.
What difference does it make if he is hitting a pitching wedge
and you are hitting a 7 iron for your second shot? Golf is all
about getting the ball in the hole in the fewest strokes, not
how you got the ball in the fewest strokes.
When you are playing a match against a long hitter, and lets
face it, with the technology in golf clubs, golf balls, strength
training and nutrition, guys are hitting the ball 300 plus yards
on a regular basis. The fact still remains that when you are on
the golf course you are walking (or riding) with a bag of tools.
It is just a matter of using the right tool for task at hand.
Does it really matter what club it takes you to hit a golf ball
150 yards? Weather it's a 6, 7,8 or 9 iron should not matter to
you, and your opponents club selection should be the last thing
from your mind during a match.
The pride of the long hitters game is hitting it long, so the
fact that you can compete with him without having to hit the 300
yard drives is already a advantage in your favor if you choose
to look at it that way. As a short hitter you should focus on
keeping the pressure on as much as possible. The four steps that
I have outlined will give you the mental edge that you need to
negate the long drives that your opponent is blasting past you.
