How To Improve Your Game

Short Game
A recent study proved one point conclusively: poor short game skills contribute more to high golf scores than anything else. The short game (chipping, pitching, and putting) makes up about 50% of the low-handicapper or pro golfer’s score. For higher handicappers, that number goes up to over 65%! If you want to improve your score, start by improving your short game. A good short game wins out over a 350 yard drive every time.

Don't Get to Mental
One of the most challenging things about becoming a better golfer is conquering our biggest enemy. It’s not the golf course, the elements, competitors, or anything like that. It’s ourselves, and many times our golf swing thoughts. There are so many reasons why golf is an endlessly difficult game, and one in particular that separates it from any other sport is the fact that it is a stationary game. We’re not reacting to a defender, a fastball, or a pass thrown our way. We have all the time in the world to think about what we’re about to do. That is the problem. We have too much time to think.

Course Management
Course management is the approach you take to make better on-course decisions that fit best with your playing style. It is knowing which clubs to use, which shots to take, and when to play to your strengths. Golfers with great course management have learned to play aggressively when the time comes and more cautiously when need be. Essentially, you are strategically managing your way around the course with the result of lowering your score, hence the term course management.
