Most amateur golfers really have no idea how the game is really played “inside the ropes.”
An amateurs’ understanding of how the pros play the game and work the ball is very jaded by the highlights they see on TV and never balanced out by what happens the other 99% of the time during a tournament.
Ball control is one of the biggest misconceptions out there. Amateurs like to believe that the pro’s control over the ball is somewhat magical, that the guys on the PGA Tour can shape their shots exactly the way they want on every shot and that is what it takes to play scratch golf. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Most professional golfers have one shot that they hit more or less religiously, whether it be a fade, draw, straight, whatever. While some work the ball on most shots, very few try and work the ball in a different direction for each shot, and this includes the best in the world.
Vijay Singh is known for “cutting” or fading each shot he plays. How often does he waiver from this? Hardly ever.
