About this episode

The episode discusses strategies for playing a narrow hole with trouble on both sides and offers drills to prepare for such situations.

Trouble down both sides—what's your best option? In this episode, Mark, Greg, and Lou give advice for approaching a hole when neither side offers a bailout. What are the strategic considerations to take into account when neither miss is great? And what are some drills to get you ready to face the pressure to hit the demanding shot the moment it's needed?
