Know Your Miss – And Manage It! | Golf Course Management [Hole 2]

Todd Kolb, Director of Instruction for US Golf TV, steps up to hole 2 — a 530 yard par 5 with out of bounds down the left side. For someone whose miss is a hook, this hole requires some serious strategic thinking. Here’s exactly how Todd navigates it.

🏌️ What You’ll Learn on Hole 2:

1. Know Your Miss – Every golfer has a tendency — a shot they hit when things go slightly wrong. Todd’s miss is a hook, and with OB down the left side that changes everything about how he approaches this hole. Knowing your miss before you swing is one of the most important course management skills you can develop.

2. Use the Tee Box to Your Advantage – Todd explains why teeing up on the left side of the tee box — and aiming away from the trouble — is one of the simplest and most effective ways to give yourself more margin for error off the tee.

3. Play the Awkward Lie – After finding a tough lie above his feet near the bunker, Todd breaks down exactly how to handle it — choking down on the club, moving the ball back in the stance, widening the stance and making a simple arm swing to get back in the fairway. No hero shots. Just smart golf.

4. Green Light Situations – With 155 yards to a middle pin from the middle of the fairway Todd explains what a true green light situation looks like — and why recognizing those moments is just as important as knowing when to play conservative.

5. Walk Your Putts – Todd demonstrates his on course putting routine — walking the putt with his feet to feel the slope and picking a spot to roll the ball over for better lag putting results.

Real golf. Smart decisions. A par despite hitting only one fairway. This is what course management looks like in action.
