Pacing Strategies for The Players Club Masters
Two-day formats at Codrington reward golfers who treat energy as a competitive resource, not just a feeling on the back nine. Pacing well means protecting attention, managing movement, and giving your swing the best chance to stay reliable under pressure.
Plan before you tee off
A strong opening round often starts with a simple question: where will the score come from? Map the par fives, short par fours, and tricky par threes, then choose two clear aims for the day. This keeps decisions calm and reduces mental burnout.
- Set one aggressive target and one conservative target.
- Plan your walking speed and recovery between shots.
- Use the course map to avoid needless movement
