Restarted golf last year after 15 years, breaking 100 started happening when I spent less time in the trees. Keeping the ball in play and taking easy option to get out of trouble was the key.
Thank you gentlemen for this wonderful video. I am a senior beginner lady golfer. I am determined to improve my scores next year. These 10 tips will be my guide. Best regards to you from South Africa 🇿🇦⛳️💫🎄
Good advice, but one thing I would add is that breaking 100 on a par 72 really means 9 bogeys and 9 double bogeys gets it done. How many times do you look at your card after the round and say ”I would have broken 100 today except for that snowman on #4 and the triple on 18.” Keeping the ball in play is more important than hitting it long into trouble. I was struggling with my driver last time out. Course was very tight and penal. Missing a fairway very often meant a penalty stroke. Hit 6 irons off every tee that I could and carded a 44 on the front, 45 on the back. Penalty strokes absolutely kill a round and if one is struggling to break 100 you simply can’t afford them. Not a pretty round, but I got through it with out a big crooked number on the card.
If you are trying to break 100 rule number one for me even now as a someone off six is when in a bunker just get out. Nothing kills a score than taking two (or more) to get out of the sand.
I struggle with ADHD on the course...when I can stay focused and in my groove, it's amazing...I'm consistently scoring pars and bogeys. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to break my groove. Playing too fast, playing too slow, fixating on a bad shot, getting tired and sloppy... I'm also trying to overcome having fallen down a rabbit-hole on here a few years ago, and watching way too many swing tutorials. It did great things for my driver off the tee...added a consistent 30-40 yards...but now I'm trying to stop second-guessing everything else (my irons and wedges and even, sometimes, my putter). I went from consistently scoring +18 to rarely doing better than +35.
The key to breaking 100 is to play each hole from the green back to the tee. By looking at what club and distance that you feel the most comfortable with going into the green. Then working back from there. Also, by reducing the chances of bad shots, like not going for a tuck-in flag, instead go for the largest part of the green.
Aiming sticks are great....but, at the same time, they also tend to make golfers think that's all there is it to aiming. On the whole, they're so often a beginner's deceitful tool. The real aiming is done with the timing of the swing coming through to impact....combined with the swivel of the shoulders and hips. If that timing is off, then no aiming stick will do any good for you. The real aiming is done with the mind....and the athleticism and concentration that produces great timing.
I have the same problem. If the fairways wide enough tee up on the right, aim to the left to allow maximum space for drive to find the fairway. If its not wide enough use a fairway wood or iron off the tee.
Try gripping the club stronger to slightly turn the club face in. Maybe also move the back foot back slightly (not wider). I used to have a massive slice but found that this helped me immensely. Up to you just how much stronger you grip the club, I'm assuming it's the driver?
@@pamelanield9798 Yeah, that was way before social media was a thing. Now we have social media "influencers" who are Senators and members of Congress. These a$$hats spout hateful trash all the time, everyday and will get reelected in a landslide. AKA MTG. So don't lecture me on civility on social media. I'll say whatever I like and enjoy doing it! Cheers.
