Stop treating every costly shot as a swing problem. This practical digital ebook helps 25-handicap golfers find avoidable penalty shots in the decisions made before, during, and after contact—then replace those choices with a clearer plan for targets, tee shots, hazards, recovery lies, and rushed moments. Built around the goal of losing eight penalty shots per round without chasing perfect swing mechanics, it gives you a repeatable way to audit your rounds and focus practice on the decisions most likely to lower your score. You will learn how to classify penalties by target choice, club selection, recovery decision, or rushed execution; set green, yellow, and red targets before ego takes over; keep the most damaging trouble out of play; and choose recoveries that protect your score. The ebook also includes practical scorecard-based exercises for reviewing your most recent round and comparing your penalty pattern across the next four rounds. Read it before your next round, use the decision prompts during setup, and review the pattern afterward.
