You have invaded the triple-digit barrier and constantly break 100. Beautiful work. Now is the time to place your sights in the other history: shooting in the 80s.
Breaking 90 is not just about getting there once – it’s to make it a habit. The good news? The road from the mid -90s to the high years is clearer than you might think.
Our friends in Stretch have identified six major performance metrics that matter to players at every level of skills. When we look at these statistics specifically for players trying to break 90, clear patterns appear that show exactly where to focus your efforts for improvement. These are not dark metrics that require a doctorate in statistics to understand. They are simple, traceable numbers that directly affect your score card.
The goal of shot six
- Number of tee shots in trouble
- Green
- Multiple shots within 70 yards to hit the green
- The number of three Puts
- Points lost within 5 legs
- Driving
Before immersing in the way these numbers improve, let’s see what a typical round looks like in the 90s.
How does a 90s golf player look like
The story these numbers show is quite clear: players who break the 90 keep the ball in the game outside, hit more greens and avoid large numbers on the results card.
Start with tee shoot
Here is the thing about golf: it’s hard to score well when you constantly play from the trees, rough or worse. Golfists breaking 90 average four troublesome tee shots for round compared to six for those stuck in the 90s.
This change of two tee shooting may not sound too much, but think about it. Two less penalty shooting. Two less times by removing. Two fewer holes where you are after eight balls before reaching your access goal. Two less times thinking seriously if the beverage carriage sells anything strong enough to erase the memory of that shot.
There is also a factor of trust here that is impossible to determine, but absolutely true. Nothing deceives your nerves, just as you look at your golf ball disappears in the woods in the third hole. Keep the ball in the game, and you will stay calmer, more focused and eventually shoot lower results.
Mathematics is simple: it is much easier to hit the greens in regulations when you are not in trouble a third of the time.
Hit more greens (and forget pin)
To break 90 continuously, you need to hit about 5.4 greens in round regulations – nearly two more than filming of players in the 90s. This link between less problem shooting and more greens in regulations? No coincidence.
That is why the Greens Greens hit has so much: getting up and down is hard. The average golf successfully converts the options up and down only one in three times. It means two -thirds of the time, you are falling shots when you lack green.
Want to start hitting more greens tomorrow? Stop aiming at flags and starting to aim in the middle of the greens. I know it sounds boring, but the boring golf often produces better results. And here is a major overview of the data: Typical 15-Handicap golf player leaves half of their access less than green.
Get an extra club. Seriously the posterior green part is almost always better than the front edge or bunker that stores it.
Eliminate three-Puttin
To get from the shooting in the 90s to the 80s, you need to have one less three-Putt per round. That’s it. Only one.
If you want your results to start with an eight, you can have no more than three three to three platoons in one round. While the strange tee shooting can overthrow you from your wise faith, nothing gets blood pressure by rising like a three-putt.
The fixing is actually quite straightforward: work on your delay and (while you are in) get automatic from three feet and inside.
In those long strokes – 20 feet and beyond – focus completely on distance control. If you can constantly get your first blow within three legs, you will practically eliminate with three strokes. Why? Because the goal data shows that even a 25 handicap golf player makes nearly nine by 10 shocks inside three legs.
Switch to distance control and be safe by draining them three feet. These are the shocks that set the players who break 90 of those who do not.
Ultimately
Small improvements in some main areas can save you a surprised number of shooting. You do not need to fix your whole game or suddenly start hitting it like Dustin Johnson. Just have to:
- Keep two more shots in the game for games for round
- Hit two more greens in the regulation
- Eliminate a three-Putt
Do those three things continuously and you will be well on your way to break up 90 and stay there.
Shot Scope Six is not an exhaustive list of any statuse that matters in Golf, but these numbers are simple to trace and deliver real results.
