When you understand the secrets of shooting lower scores,
you'll find that playing great golf is really simple.
When you learn the secrets of shooting lower scores, you'll
find that relaxation and confidence that you've been looking for on the course.
Here are three tips to playing great golf:
Driving the Golf Ball - This could very well be the most
important part of the golf game. I don't care what "so called"
experts tell you, if you've ever played a round of golf in which you spent most
of your time in the rough, trying to hack out of trees, or in the other holes
on the fairway, then you know that not only is playing golf like this
frustrating, (funny to your partners) and embarrassing, but doesn't equate to
lower scores.
If you want to shoot lower scores, the very best thing you
can do for yourself is learn to hit the fairway off the tee.
Plus, you can guess what happens to your confidence when you
step up to the first tee feeling like you're about to play the best round of
golf you've ever played and "ping" you hit the ball, look up and
there it goes sailing into trees...FORE!
I am not saying that the short game isn't important. It is,
but it gets so much attention because there are very few people that spend
adequate time with the correct equipment working on hitting the fairway. The
first thing you can do is get a driver that is a little shorter. This will
increase accuracy and only take a few yards off your distance. But what good is
hitting it far, if your in the rough, sandtrap or water for the next shot. I
tell you now, golf is a much easier game when you are playing your next shot
from the fairway.
Putting for Par - You can shave 5-10 strokes off your game
by learning how to direct the ball on the putting surface. There's nothing more
frustrating than getting to the green in regulation and then 3-putting for
bogey. Oooooh, you could just scream. Many times you probably do.
Spend time learning distance control, reading breaks, and
making every putt inside of 4 feet. This should be your beginning goal on the
putting surface. Your first putt should put it inside your "automatic
range", and your second putt should be automatic. Your first step to being
a putting genius and lowering your golf score by at least 7 strokes, is to
create an "automatic range" by practice putting from 2 feet. Then, as
that range becomes automatic, back up to 3 feet, then 4 feet. When you take
this simple approach to the putting green, it should relax you and put you on
the easy road to shooting lower scores.
