If you are stuck in the 20-30 handicap rank, you are not alone. The road to lower results can feel frustraically complicated until you reach the other side. Once you are playing like a middle handicapper, you will wonder why they all looked so difficult. The good news? It is not as complicated as it feels now. Here are four simple things you can start doing today to play more like a medium handicapper tomorrow.
Recognize your current carrier distances (not your summer score numbers)
Many high handicappers estimate how far they hit the ball. Perhaps more dangerous than this, they use the numbers of the best cases as their average distances. If you hit a 7-iron shooting 162 yards, this is not your 160-yard club.
You need to look at your average if you want to hit the greens in the regulation. It a 7-hook of 162-Obaror happened once, but most are 153 yards. This is your number.
What to do today:
- Use one Monitoring of bootGPS app, or sorted to measure keep a distance.
- Once you have carried the distance numbers, learn how much participation you normally get with each club.
- Follow your club averages, not your foreigners. If your 7-Hakur carries 150 most of the time, stop planning for once it can fly 165.
- Practice in the wind and uphill/discount to get a feeling of how much yard you lost.
Play in the middle of green – always
The best players do not aim for the sucker pins. They do not try to carve the 7-juniors over the bunkers to compress the right-right flags. They target the green center. High handicaps rise up and down only about 25% of the time. Getting in green will save you a lot of strokes.

Start each round with a delay by setting the heat
High handicaps (and players in general) tend to lose the biggest shocks around and in green. Three-woman are killers of results, and they are one of the easiest things to work when trying to become a lower disabled player.
Medium Handicappers do better in calling to rhythm and bringing their delays closer to the hole. If you are like most amateur players, you probably go to Golf Green and hit about five and 10 feet before going to your round. Try this in place:
- Before your round, walk out of the strokes at 20, 30 and 40 meters and hit 3-5 balls from each.
- Focus remote controlnot line.
Use the Tee box to select a specific line – not just “hit the right path”
High handicaps tend to walk over tee, aim vaguely in the middle, and swing. The best players think more strategically. They open back, choose a clear line, “Start in that left tree and let it fade”And then build their purpose about it.
Choose a target that narrows your focus: a tree, bunker edge, or even a grass blade, not just “somewhere on the road”. Visualize the flight you want to take the ball before you swing.
Choosing a line and engaging for it is a very effective strategy for reducing results.
Final thoughts
There are many adjustments you can make in your game to play more like a middle handicapper. If you can make any of these four today, it can simply save you some shots tomorrow.
