Thank you for watching! Stay present instead of rushing to finish the round, because you can't practice every scramble situation, but you can raise the odds by practicing these tips.

The closing psychology lesson: your ego gets loudest exactly when the lie gets worse. Nnotice the self-talk and tell it to be quiet. Like the middle game in chess, a scramble is always the most unpredictable and at the same time the most interesting part of the game.

From an obstructed lie just outside circle one, Brian steps out so an 11-metre putt plays like nine. A second, more aggressive demo clears a tree line for a circle two spin putt, and shows how to back into position without disturbing anything.

Outside C1 you are allowed to follow through past your lie, so you can start in front of a bush and throw before your front foot lands. Popularised by Jeremy Koling and used by pros like Chris Dickerson and Barry Schultz, it is a legal and underused (maybe for a reason) part of the rulebook.

For obstructed lies on the green, the turbo putt gives you a chance where a normal putt gives you none. Thumb in the middle of the flight plate, four fingers on the rim, push it forward and spin it toward the basket.

When every gap to a basket looks bad but there is a pocket above the tree line, the grenade is the easiest up-and-down available. Grip firmly, pick a point in the sky, and wait to release much higher than you would on a normal backhand.
