On your longer approach shots, aim for a big target.  If you want to lower your scores aim for the middle of the green.  Once you get to within 100 yards, then you can start going after the pin.  By aiming at a bigger target, you’ll ease the pressure of trying to knock it close to the pin and you are much more likely to end up on the green.  You would rather be on the green with a long birdie putt than hitting it on the short side of the pin just off the green.  Focusing on the big target will also minimize your chances of getting into trouble near the green such as going into a bunker or even worse a water hazard.
