WHEN YOU ARE TRYING to decide which club to hit, the first one that comes to mind is the right one.
Let us suppose your instinct tell you to pull a 5-iron out of the bag
Your instinct is correct. Hit the 5 - iron.
But you throw up some grass to test the wind and you check the yardage again, and you overrule your instinct.
You change to a 4 - iron, or maybe to a 6-iron.
Now you are no longer sure. You’ll probably ease up on the 4 - iron or really bear down on the 6-iron. The result is liable to be a poor shot
