Chris Ryan – Game Improvement
Chris Ryan walks through ten lessons that address some of the most common mistakes amateur golfers make — not in their swing, but in how they think and manage their way around a course. From choosing the right target on approach shots to controlling your walk-in routine, each point is grounded in real on-course situations. This is the kind of practical advice that can genuinely change how you approach a round.

Key Takeaways Aim away from tucked flags:
Your natural shot dispersion means aiming at a pin close to the edge of the green will regularly miss it — pick a target that keeps your worst shots on the putting surface.
Use the clock face for breaking putts:
Visualising the exact point on the hole where your putt will enter — using clock positions — helps you read the line more accurately and commit to the right start line.
Stick to your strategy, no matter what:
Changing your game plan to chase a lost shot is one of the costliest mistakes you can make — the best play on each hole stays the same whether your previous hole was a birdie or a bogey.
Pick one of these lessons to focus on in your next round — whether that’s using more of the tee box, committing to dead-weight putting, or trusting your pre-shot walk-in — and notice how much easier decisions feel when you have a clear process. This video suits golfers of all abilities, but those in the mid-to-high handicap range will find the most to work with here.
