The Situation

A.J. suggests that Colton should aim for the left side of the fairway and use the wind to his advantage. He also suggests that if Colton hits it too far, it’s not the worst case scenario.

For golfers who hit it right to left, A.J. suggests aiming just inside the fairway line and playing a right to left shot. He encourages Colton to be aggressive and confident in his decision.
