How to Lower your Golf Handicap?

Most golfers I work with their objective is to improve their handicap and scores. Yes hitting more fairways will make a big difference, but one underrated statistic to do this is hitting more greens in regulation. If you were able to combine this with a solid putting game you could decrease that score right down.

Here is 3 simple steps you can implement into your game today:

1. Learn how far your clubs carry in the air and not just the total distance. For each good shot you hit on the course, use a notepad and write how far it went.

2. Measure the front of the green and ensure your club choice can carry that yardage. If you are ever between clubs, pick the club that finishes you in the middle of the green. Ie a pin at the front part of the green, choose the higher club, putting is always better than short!

3. Allow “discrepancies” for the lie of your golf ball. If your golf ball is sitting in the rough, you won't be able to make the same contact as a golf ball that’s on the fairway. Often this leads to less distance, control and a wider dispersion.

Happy Golfing
