1. Course Management is of critical concern for you . . . go to Amazon and buy Playing Lessons by Jack Nicklaus. You can get it cheap. Pick smart targets. If you move the ball primarily in one direction . . . stop firing right at the pin. Play for your tendencies. Get the ball in play . . . PERIOD. No matter what stick it takes. Hit your 5 wood and your hybrids. Conservative strategy but cocky swing. Before you stick the tee in the ground on every hole ask yourself . . . "How can I make PAR on THIS HOLE TODAY??? and WHAT IS MY TARGET?"

2. Practice hitting your 3 wood 5 wood and Hybrid. Figure out how to get the ball in play.

3. Practice with a TARGET on EVERY SINGLE SHOT. If you just wack the ball and scrape you are eating golf doo doo. Discipline your mind and your swing . . . play to a freakin target on the range. And change it a bunch.

4. Hit the practice green . . . take ONE BALL . . . chip/pitch that ONE BALL and PUTT IT OUT. That's the way the game is played and that's the way you should practice.
That's some top notch material right there cap'n.

Thanks for the replies. It's funny; I have a round tomorrow, and I was determined to think "smooth" the whole round. You know what they say about great minds, Ed. Also, thanks for the course management advice, Bucket. In my last round, 1 lapse in focus in my course management cost me my career best round on a course that has my number. So my plan is to try to focus on every shot, and to try to keep it in play. My 3-iron is going to get a lot of work.
