From LPGA Tour winner Linn Grant:

As a kid in Sweden, I loved trying to hit the ball as far as I could. As I progressed through the amateur ranks to the Ladies European Tour and then the LPGA Tour, I found myself working less on speed and distance and more on accuracy.

In 2023, my first full season on the LPGA Tour, I ranked second in strokes gained/off the tee. A big reason was my ability to keep the ball in play—I hit nearly three-quarters of my fairways. Too many amateurs focus exclusively on how far they hit it, just as I did when I was a kid. But trust me, if you turn your attention to hitting more fairways and fewer bombs, your scores will improve much faster.

Here’s how to do that using three fundamentals I concentrate on when I absolutely have to hit the fairway.
