Welcome High Golf Teacher 100 Round table, where some of the best business instructors answer the most pressing questions of the game. Purpose? To help your game and reduce your ASAP results.
Want to shoot lower results this golf season? Instead of fixing the swing mechanics for another season, if you want to score, you have to tear into your game parts that make the most influence on the course.
When it comes to marking, some skills exceed others. Focusing on the basics of your game that actually move the needle, you will be on your way to shave shocks from your average note in no time.
To help you start, we asked six of 100 top golf teachers To share the most valuable skills you need to work for now. Here’s what they had to say.

“Setting and stretching are the light ones. Tempo or swing with 80% effort would be a nearly second,” Michael Hunt, Shell Bay Club, Halandale Beach Fla.
A great way to control your configuration and your approximation is to use training aids, like this. These training tools will help you make sure you are practicing with a proper configuration and approximation every time. Not only will these tools exalt your practice sessions, but they will also train your eye to recognize when you are properly set and in accordance with your objective.
Another stretch key that many players watch is to put the club first, then put your feet and body. Mastery of these bases will help you build a solid foundation and avoid more losses caused by a poor configuration or improper approximation.
Make a swift stroke, then focus on the short shots
“Put the ball in the game out and focus on improving the game within 120 yards, including access shots, short game and setting,” Kevin Kirk, Woodlands CC, The Woodlands, Texas.
Top golf teachers share the best swing tips they’ve ever received
If you are trying to lower your note average, you need to trim the big numbers on the result card and keep the ball in the game outside, is one of the best ways to do it.
Kirk also highlights another essential key to lowering results – by improving your game within 120 yards. While the short game and placement are often labeled as “marking shots”, I think these shorter shots of access deserve the same attention. For most amateurs, 120 yards is usually a wedge or higher iron. With these clubs in hand, you should try to hit the green almost every time. Once you can do this, you will notice that you will have more confidence in green from this distance and some extra opportunities for par or even birds.
Learn to mark about the greens
“Practicing any type of tar and chips about green. A functional short game player can get in green with a stroke, two strokes and move together. As you develop your ability, this goal should be to reduce the first in green, near the hole and turn” up and down “, Martin Chuck, The Raven GC, Phoenix, Ariz.
Simple and simple: the closer you can lower your short games in the hole, the more uplifting you will turn into a course. A great way to do this is to chip in a large landing area and gradually reduce it over time. Start with a 12-foot circle as you can constantly lower all your chips in that area, reduce it with one foot. As your precision improves, your landing area will be strengthened. Increasing your chances to do more course in the course.
Did we mention the short game?
“Short game, short game, short game – followed by course management,” Kevin Weeks, Cog Hill GC, Palos Park, Ill.
Unless, many of the teachers we survey said the short game was the ability to work if you want to shoot lower results – you get it for what it’s worth. In addition to the practice of cuttings about green, the weeks also mention a highly underestimated aspect of the game that can help you avoid some stroke holes in the future: course management.
May not be as sexy as the hit of a Hop-and-Stop wedge shotBut course management is essential for shooting lower results. And it goes beyond getting the right club or knowing when lies.
One way to improve your course management skills is to gain more game experience. With more rounds under your belt, you will be able to identify Miss Smart, know when you play aggressively and when you play it safe.
That being said, there are some proven and real keys to remember during your course decision -making process. Here are some to keep in the back pocket:
1. There are no accessible risks from tee? Pull the driver. It will approach you with the hole, which gives you a better chance to hit the green.
2. If you find yourself among the clubs in a green, the longest club is usually the best choice.
3 about green without risks in front of you? Keep your goal low or even roll. Hitting a collision, or even setting, will give you the best chances of leaving your blow to the hole.
Eliminate with three pins
“The fastest, and perhaps easier way, to lower a handicap would be to improve your placement. In particular, players have to eliminate three license plates or at least minimize them,” Mike Bender, Mike Bender Golf Academy, Lake Mary, Fla.
The best way to get rid of your three pins game is to focus on distance control. Of course, green reading is important, but if your putt has the right speed, you will almost always leave your second putt at a very pleasant distance.

Become automatic on short casualties
If you get nervous about short testers to green, it is a sign that you need to devote more time by practicing short strokes. Automatic making from a shorter distance will build your confidence and help you believe in your stroke – reducing reduced nerves over these significant strokes. To give you a gauge how big your circle should be, take a look at what one of our coaches recommended:
“30 handicaps should prioritize in making two legs. For 20 handicaps, are three footers. And for 10 handicaps, four footers,” Mark Durland, Golf Durland schools in Napoli Grande GC, Napoli, Fla.
Durland’s tips will help you set reasonable goals for yourself in green practice and have realistic expectations for what you MUST I’m doing in the course.
