There are many times in golf when you need to take your best shot. Say for example you have hit over a ravine or water hazard; you need an all-carry shot. One of the biggest mistakes you can make at this point is to go digging through your bag for a scrub ball (a golf ball found, usually while golfing that may need a cleaning). The reason for this is two-fold. First off, you never know if the scrub ball you found in your travels through the bush or retrieved from the water was newly lost or lost the year before. You could end up grabbing a dead ball (a golf ball that has lost its elasticity and bounce) in which case you just made a tough shot, tougher. Secondly, though when you decide to reach for a scrub ball you have already decided that you are not going to make the shot. This sounds more like you’re deciding to take your worst shot!
When you have to take your best shot, splurge and get a new ball for the occasion. A new ball is an affirmation that you’re ready to take your best shot.
So, what will it be? Are you going to take your best shot?
