We recently did a survey with our Daily Video Tip viewers and let’s just say it’s clear the community needs some help on the mental side of the game! Most of our tips cover the mechanics of the swing, but the mental and strategy component of the game are covered as well. Here we compiled the five most popular tips on strategy to help you bounce back after bad shots. We decided to showcase these tips based on the number of views, likes and length of time that people watched.
