Tip #1 — Crosswind Aim with Trajectory
Use the wind clock to find the cross component, then adjust aim by trajectory: low shot reduces drift, high shot increases. Start at ~0.25 yd per mph cross for mid‑trajectory and refine per club.

Fast, actionable advice to tighten your decision‑making each round.
Tip #4 — Club Selection on Tight Fairways
When fairways are narrow and hazards flank landing zones, consider a shorter club and controlled power to hit a more conservative target. Sacrificing a few yards for a safer approach often saves strokes in match play.
Tip #5 — Wind Range Averaging
WGT often displays a wind range; use the midpoint for consistent results (e.g., 6–10 mph → use 8 mph). If conditions change mid-hole, prioritize the higher value for approach shots.
Tip #2 — Elevation Rule of Thumb
Add ~1 yard for every 3 ft uphill; subtract for downhill. Confirm on your bag and note exceptions on extreme winds.
Tip #3 — Putt Break Calibration
On Standard speed, aim roughly 0.8 inches per foot per 10/10 break strength. Reduce aim as greens get faster.
Tip #6 — Recovering from Rough
Rough and fescue increase the lie percentage; add the lie boost from the `Lie % Guide` and consider clubbing up earlier. For recovery shots, prioritize controlled contact over max power.
Tip #7 — Meter Practice Routine
Practice meter timing with a set routine: two warmup swings, a visual anchor on the meter, and a consistent chant or rhythm. Consistency reduces mishits and improves the reliability of the percentage-based recommendations.
