4 Strategies to Outsmart the Long Hitter
Introduction
Facing a golfer who can launch 300-yard drives can be intimidating, but distance isn’t everything in golf. Here are four strategies to help you compete effectively against long hitters.
1. Prioritize Accuracy
Keeping your ball on the fairway can unsettle your long-hitting opponent. While they might not always hit accurately, you can gain a mental edge by consistently landing on the fairway. Even if it means using a hybrid or iron off the tee, accuracy can outweigh the need for distance.
2. Target the Green
You'll often have the first shot to the green, so make it count. Continuously setting up birdie opportunities can wear down your opponent. A player who sees you consistently going for the pin will start to feel the pressure.
3. Master the Short Game
The short game levels the playing field for all golfers. By honing your skills around the green?"chipping, pitching, and putting?"you can compete strongly against any player, regardless of their driving distance.
4. Disregard Their Distance
Acknowledge that your opponent can outdrive you by 50 or 60 yards, but don't let it affect you. Focus on efficiency, not distance. Remember, it doesn’t matter if you're using a 7 iron while they use a pitching wedge. The goal is to complete the hole in the fewest strokes.
Conclusion
With advances in golf technology, many players hit long drives regularly. However, it’s not just about distance; it’s about using the right tool for each shot. Ignore your opponent’s club choice and focus on your game. Competing with a long hitter without needing lengthy drives gives you a unique advantage. Follow these strategies to apply pressure and gain the mental edge needed to overcome long shots.
