Every golfer thinks they're playing smart golf… until they look at their actual shot patterns.
If you've ever stood in the fairway wondering why your "perfect" drive found trouble—or why your approach shot ended up short-sided—you're not alone. Most golfers have no idea where their shots really go, and that's why course management breaks down.
That's exactly what led me to the Shot Pattern App, one of the smartest tools I've ever used to visualize dispersion, understand tendencies, and plan smarter targets.
In this episode, I'm joined by Eric Duffett, the creator of Shot Pattern, to talk about how this app can completely transform the way you manage your game.
You'll learn:
-
Why understanding your shot dispersion is the foundation of smart golf
-
How to use Shot Pattern to make better decisions and avoid blowup holes
-
The simple process for target selection that lowers scores immediately
-
How to use data—not emotion—to manage your misses and play to your strengths
-
Why most amateurs pick targets that are far too aggressive (and how to fix it)
If you've ever wondered how to think like a Tour pro when picking targets, this episode will show you exactly how. Follow Shot Pattern on Instagram to learn more.
