• Try to be on the green or fringe in one shot more than regulation as often as possible (2 shots on a Par 3, 3 shots on a Par 4, 4 shots on a Par 5). With a little bit of planning and forward thinking there should be quite a few holes where you are confident of achieving this.
• Go 18 holes without incurring any penalty shots. Don’t hit it Out of Bounds and keep the ball
away from ditches, water hazards etc.
• There is no need for you to be too aggressive off the tee. Your aim should be to consistently keep the ball in play. Find a reliable driver you feel comfortable with, this could well be slightly shorter than standard with at least 12 degrees of loft and maybe offset.
• Give yourself big targets ie. Aim at centre of green, not the flag.
• Don’t keep coming up short with approach shots, take enough club to reach the back of the green.
• Practice lag putting, you will face a lot of putts over 30ft. If you can start to limit the 3-puttsfrom that range then your scores can tumble!
