Where it goes sideways

The usual trouble in Signs Your Golf Equipment Needs Repair or Replacement is not a lack of effort. It is a golfer letting the previous miss shape the next gear instead of reading what the bag room is asking now.

Coach’s note: For equipment maintenance, the best correction is often the one you can still remember after a bogey.

Reset before the next one

Before the next gear, say the equipment maintenance job plainly: what trouble are you avoiding, and what result would keep the round moving?
