The vast majority of golfers, particularly men, want to do one thing in their golf game above all else.
Hit big drives. Yes, I know, I have been there.
There is a huge amount of satisfaction from seeing your drive arc high into the air, know you have hit it out of the meat and watch your ball kick on when it hits the fairway with a nice draw.
But if you want to become a real golfer then you will need to understand how to do what the professionals do so well.
Score low.
Scoring is the name of the game and we all get wrapped up with other goals and objectives but to cut your handicap you will need to learn to score. Score like a professional.
The easy way to score low involves mastering 3 critical areas of your game..
1. Pitching and chipping
When you discover how to turn 3 shots into 2 just like a pro golfer does, then you will score low, very low. And one of the keys to doing this is a sharp pitching and chipping game.
It is incredibly easy to improve this part of your game and you will see results within weeks. But you will need to practice.
2. Putting
Convert more of your putts in the 3 foot to 6 foot range and again you will roll a potential bogey into a saving par and a double into a bogey. Do this 6 times a round and you have just saved 6 shots off your regular score.
3. Mental approach
Your mental approach is key to reducing your scores on a regular basis and this simple tip will be instrumental in doing that: get to the course a half hour earlier than you normally do.
The benefit of not rushing to put on your golf gear, check your bag, grab a snack and a drink will leave you relaxed and focused walking to the first tee.
And we all know that if you get off to a good start with a nice par on the first hole, it sets you up for the round.
