Calculating yardage numbers and proper club selection are some of the most underrated skills in the world of golf. Most of us simply ask a friend: What's the number? They zap the pin with a rangefinder and then we pull the club we think is best and swing away.

These five pro-level strategies will help you get the right number, pull the right club, hit the right shot and lower your scores.
