One of the craziest and most difficult parts of #golf is....
TINY changes create success/failure - not big ones (like you believe).
In this 🧵thread, I'll give a couple of examples, and solutions.

Let's go👇
A slight shift in your club-face can send your ball way off course. Just 3-degrees of added face opening/closing can veer your shot over 35 yards off target.
1= square face
2= 3 deg open
Or you hit a good shot (1)
Then, on your next swing you drop JUST 1/4 inch deeper (or 2 grooves).
And hit the ground almost 2.5 inches behind the ball!!
Yes, that's all it takes
Here's an even crazier fact...
Even if you swung like a golf robot, you would still have a dispersion to your shots!
The robots used for testing equipment still hit shots left/right because the golf balls are not perfectly balanced.
So, what can we do about this? 👇👇👇
1. Play a strategy that allows for a shot dispersion.
Pick a target that has a good buffer left/right and long/short.
In a lot of cases, this would be close to the middle of the green
Target 2 would hit more greens and score lower than target 1
2. Use techniques that offer a bigger margin for error
EXAMPLE - with forward shaft lean (right), the club can hit the 3rd groove on the face while swinging HIGHER from the ground (see the green arc).
This can reduce fat shots
3. Watch your bias
Player 1s average is around the center. They have a 5.4ft standard deviation
Player 2s average is shifted toe-biased. They have a 20.5ft standard deviation
Same consistency of inputs - different consistency of outputs
3. Fix stuff quicker and more precisely
Understand that you, as a golfer, are always going to be changing from day to day.
The real key to success is to identify those changes and quickly re-calibrate
