No matter how you spin it, golf is hard. It doesn't matter if you're using a driver off the tee, trying to hit an iron shot from off pine needles, or simply trying to putt on the smoothest, most well-maintained grass you've ever seen, this game can cause sane humans to go absolutely crazy.

No golfer enjoys hitting bunker shots, but, unfortunately, they come with the territory when playing golf.

Xander Schauffele's Secret Instructional Tip

1 month ago | athlonsports.com | Nick Dimengo

Sure, pro golfers like Xander Schauffele have been competing in golf tournaments for the past few months, but for average players like you and me, we're still slowly coming out of the offseason now that the weather is getting nicer. While we all want to grab a driver or 7-iron and just beat a bunch of balls on the driving range, it's only natural to be a little rusty - so it's highly recommended to avoid that strategy if you want to build your confidence.
