I was watching the Golf Monthly strategy videos on you tube last night which were really good but a couple of really simple things came out of it.
Firstly, a check of the weather forecast in the morning to know the direction of the wind and then just putting a line on the course map on the card to reflect that before going out as that will be clearer estimate than throwing grass up on a tree lined course where the wind will swirl (obviously different for links).
Secondly, think it was David Howell that was mentioned, who has his 50% wedge distances marked on his clubs so he doesn't forget. I'm an occasional golfer so I'm not going to do anything too elaborate but having a note of club distances seemed particularly crucial and I need to get this sorted.
That may be an exhaustive list, but just in case it's not, it got me wondering what little things people do in prep for a round to help particularly with course management but just their round in general (e.g. drinks on course).
