Rate your Pin Placements

Not all pin placements are created equal. I ask my students to rate them like a stop light. Each pin is either a green, yellow or red pin placement. A green light pin is typically in the center of the green. Get your yardage and aim directly at it.
A yellow light pin placement moves away from the center of the green. You should be cautious of this pin placement and aim away from impending trouble.
A red light pin placement is tucked behind a bunker, is in the extreme front or back of the green, close to a body of water or on the far left or right side of the green. When faced with this type of pin placement you should act as though the pin is not even on the green and play to the middle of the green.
Being decisive in rating pin placements will help in your decision making process for the shot at hand.
