Shot dispersion showed my real miss is short

This sounds familiar. I would keep the next step small and use one of the site tools before changing too much.

Good question. The answer depends on pace, safety, and whether the course feels fair from the tees you choose.

I tried something similar last month. Writing notes after the round helped me more than trying to fix it during play.

Replies suggested using the club distance tracker and aiming for the middle-back number on safer holes.
