What's on it

01From the tee. Where to aim when the hole is tight, and when the driver stays in the bag.
02The approach. The number to trust, and why a tucked flag is bait.
03In trouble. The order of operations that stops one mistake becoming three.
04Around the green. Which club, and why rolling beats flying.
05On the green. What to actually aim at from twenty feet.

Fifteen rules. One page. Nothing to learn — just decisions to make before you swing.

Who wrote it

Ray has kept notes for fifty years — scraps in the bag, backs of scorecards, margins of yardage books. This is what survived the culling: the decisions that kept showing up, round after round.

"Can I pull this off eight times out of ten?
If not, take the boring one."

That question is at the bottom of the page. It's the one that saves the most shots, and it costs nothing to ask.
