Details
Risk scaling is a method of assessing potential outcomes and determining whether a decision is appropriate for the current situation. Beginners often struggle with over committing or hesitating excessively, which stems from unclear personal thresholds.
The first element is identifying low , medium , and high risk choices. Low risk choices involve minimal movement and high stability. Medium risk choices involve small posture changes or shifts between bunkers. High risk choices involve any action requiring exposure or timing.
Players benefit from matching decisions with their current environmental awareness. If information is limited, low risk actions are more suitable. When the field becomes clearer, moderate risk decisions become appropriate.
Threshold recognition helps players avoid committing to choices outside their comfort or information range. A threshold is reached when the player feels uncertain or unable to predict the outcome reliably.
Practicing risk scaling supports long term strategic consistency and reduces unstructured decision making.
