Focus on your short game

The biggest thello for me was the focus on my 100 yard and inside game. It was hit in me that a good short game can solve a ton of problems, so I spend double the amount of practice time shredding and deciding how much I do my long game. I could always hit it well, but when I learned to chip and hit you, my whole game turned. —JOHNNY WONDER (1.7 handicap)

Call at your speed

When I was trying to lower my handicap and shoot lower results, it always seemed to go down to decide. I was a chronic strip with three strokes-mainly because of the poor speed-to hit my first very difficult blows and then compensate for the return road. A tale as old as time. After being able to call at my speed in the greens, I noticed that my results were dramatically fell. Not only was I cut with three strokes, but I was also making more parties and bird birds with my new faith. —Maddi MacClurg (6.5 Handikap)

Find confidence in your short handcuffs

Try to find confidence with your short cuffs and wedges. Once you have reached the point where you are hitting the greens constantly with your shorter clubs – and not miss the shots on the left and right or get in trouble Bunker – miraculously works in your overall game and index. —Cessica Marxbury (9.6 Handikap)

Have a quick blow

Disappearance of penalty shooting – especially outside tee – is essential if you want to shoot constantly low results. The best way to do this is to find a secure shot, “go to” with the driver where you can rely. For me, this is a low cut at the bottom of the face. It may not go as far as my normal drives, but when there are penalties in my landing area, I know I can squeeze the ball there with my intention. Find your past shots and this will save you a few strokes for the round. —Zephyr Melton (4.6 Handikap)
