Donna's Tip #2

Play and stay within yourself. This tip is exactly what it says. How can you make a career shot while on the course if you have never practiced that particular shot? To become accomplished at any task, practice is imperative. "Practice makes permanent", so practice perfectly. Until this type practice is part of your game, just use what you have and stay within yourself.
