L.A.W. = LIE, AREA around you and WIND
Incorrect club selection: This is one thing that I see a lot of during playing lessons with my students and one way to fix this is to go through a quick and easy check list.
This will help your score and you will be more aware or golf aware as I like to say.
Here is how L.A.W. works.
Lie – Before you pick a club from your bag to make a shot, make sure you take a close look at your ball to see what your lie looks like (is your ball in the thick stuff or in the fairway)
Area – Next make sure that you are fully aware of your surroundings (i.e., trees, water, flyer lie, elevated greens, etc. )
Wind – Lastly, make sure that you check for wind (Hint: use one less/more club for every 10mph of blowing wind. To check this, simply toss some grass in the air and if the grass lands 10ft in front or behind you, you can safely estimate that you have a 10mph wind.
