A golf coach explains when to test new swing feels during a round. Use tight holes to stay safe and conservative. Save looser holes where you have more margin for error to experiment with new techniques.

One of the most important things you need to be aware of on the golf course is when you can kind of make experimental swings and when you can't. A lot of the times we're not going to have our best game for every single swing that we make, and sometimes we're going to have to work through feels while we're in an actual tournament or playing live golf. It's important to understand which holes you can be a little bit more aggressive on, conservative on, which holes you can try something out, a new feel, and which holes you can't. So it's important to understand, hey, maybe on this hole I've got a little bit of room. I can go ahead and try that feel out. But on another hole, it might be a little bit tighter. It might be more important to stay conservative. Maybe it's not perfect strategy, but we're prioritizing keeping the ball in play first. And then when you get to the next hole, you want to try something out, you've got a little bit more room, then go for it.
