The Anti-Hero Shot Rule for 90s Golfers
Pillar #5 – Know Thyself
The Hard Truth
The hero shot gives you 30 seconds of pride and 30 minutes of damage.
Keeping par in play means choosing the shot that gives you a realistic path to bogey-or-better.
Do This Now
• In trouble: get back to safety first.
• Aim for a spot you can actually hit, not a miracle window.
• Accept the boring shot. Your ‘boring’ decision keeps par alive.

Quick Drill
• Next round: count ‘hero attempts.’ Your goal is zero. Bet you keep par in play when you do.
