f you’re a regular on a particular course, keep a yardage book. Pros keep yardage books and notes on each Tour course; you should develop one for your favorites.
Store a small note book in your bag—I like the reporter’s style that’s hinged at the top—for making sketches of the holes and taking notes on what works and what doesn’t. Draw large illustrations of the greens and make notes on how each plays, with arrows indicating the fall lines. Note how the holes play under different conditions, blind spots, danger zones and safe plays. You also could note the clubs you used from particular areas.
Then, before teeing it up, consult your notebook and refresh your memory. Use the book to avoid repeating mistakes.
