5 Keys to Breaking 85 (every time you play) 

Reminds me of a study at Texas A&M where 90% of short putts didn’t go in.

At least he isn't lying to us!

Good stuff! Thanks

Thank you!

Love it! Thanks Matt.

When this happens it’s a driver shaft type or length issue. Fix the driver shaft and it will be better than the 3 wood.

The trees are full of long hitters

Glad you liked it!!

Pace is the key the longer the putt the more important the pace.

Absolutely

I’d work on driver, most of us don’t play enough to avoid a bad hole or two out of 18, I’d say embrace that unless you play a lot it will happen and try and get your fairway percentage up as that will help you on every hole

For me, the answer was a 12° driver. So much easier to hit fairways and have more carry distance ‼️

Happy to hear they resonated with you!

Glad it was helpful!

best golf lesson ever @@thescoringmethod

Hope it helps you shoot consistently lower scores!

Glad it was helpful!

APPRECIATE it!

Glad it helped!

Awesome to hear!!! That's great improvement Andrew.

Great to hear your applying it to your game.

twice a week is a must for improevment, hands down.

Lost balls are a scoring killer! Have to keep it in play.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Mmmm I do agree.

Good advice, Yogi.

Mr science you should be called Captain Obvious

I’m in the same boat as you. Late August I decided to try and resurrect my game. Was shooting 100 usually. Played 1 time per year the last 20 or so years. Maybe because I turned 60 and want to actually enjoy going golfing. So I went to a local Golftec had a swing eval of 1.5 hours and bought a 500$ lesson package. Have had 4 lessons and shot 43 on a back 9 and highlight birdied an uphill par 4! I highly recommend starting from the ground up rather than just practicing your mistakes until you perfect them ;)

@@waynesorensen7071 Fortunately after not playing for so long theres little to no muscle memory. Meaning I needed to rebuild my swing from scratch. I know how to set up and how to grip the club correctly. I also know the difference between a good and bad swing. I use my local range with trackman to analyze my shots. Because I have devoloped a setup routine I can repeat my setup and swing consistantly. If I change something I know what I've changed and by how much and can see from trackman whether that change is better or worse. And intergrate it or go back to previous set up I've already added 40 yards to my drives that are straighter and turned a slice into a draw I want another 20-30 yards on my drive consitantly. And to be more realistic about my ability when playing shots to the green. I know I can pitch a wedge in at the pin and stop it within a few yards.( on a good day with a good lie) On a bad day I'll thin it through the green and end up playing my next shot ( if there even is one) from at least the same distance from an even worse lie. Last week I went to a 9 hole par3 (Par 27) course to practice my short game and shot 35 Which considering I hit my 1st shot on the first out of bounds and took 3 off the tee and rolled just off the right side of the green into a fallen tree branch (and an almost unplayable lie) that I couldn't move without moving my ball so literally flicked it about a 5 feet for my 4th shot and then got up and down for a 6. whilst still annoyed then roofed my tee shot on the second hole into the canopy of trees over the tee box dropping 40 to 50 yards infront of me instead of on the green and still made a 4. The other 4 strokes I dropped on the remaining 7 holes were literally 2 left an inch short one just missed right and the other lipped out. It obviously wasn't my day. That said, the first time I played thee when I just started I shot 42

Have you tried the Short Game Challenge? See if that helps with your short game and knowing when to keep the ball on the ground vs in the air.

The pros often back off on a tight par 4 and use 3w. Driver should be fine on a wide open 4 or 5. I don’t think he’s saying never use your driver…especially if you can hit it fairly well?

If your are 18, stop giving advice

@@jordybeans2392 If you haven't got anything positive to say don't say it at all

@@jordybeans2392 that’s nonsense. he is giving advice to people who for whom being an 18 is their intermediate goal.

What’s the difference between 18 and 6 handicap?

@@waynesorensen7071 ? not a lot. Depends on ability and how you apply yourself

Exactly!! If you hit your driver bad, I’ll bet you hit those fairway woods pretty nasty too. Distance matters! Plus it’s more fun to hit the big stick & you hopefully play golf cause it’s fun.

Absolutely. My driver is no less unreliable than any other club off the tee and is slightly longer, so is my go to club from all tees, including many par 3s.

Lol Say what?

This is where strokes gained apps come in handy. It quantifies a shot beyond our emotional response. You might well be best with a driver off every tee but there have been world class golfers who've been proven that what they thought they did isn't what they actually did.

🤣 if it’s Bermuda or thick brass around the fringe, this is where you definitely want to start using a hybrid as it will loft without you having to chip the ball. Break the friction and enable you to feel like it’s a putt.

@@thescoringmethod oh - you’re assuming we have grass - I’ll look for some and let you know 😂

Or only play 9 holes. 😂

Thanks Edgar!

Straightest driver is usually the shortest driver too ,-and never won a tournament!

Have you upgraded your equipment and ball lately?

@@waynesorensen7071 I bought a second hand driver in 2021 which I’m really pleased with… 170-180m. And a new lofted rescue which goes really well about 130m. The rest of my clubs are 18 years old. I did give the game away in 2010 I was playing off 6 then at age 66, so I could afford to travel overseas. I took it up again in 2021 and discovered I had lost about 50m with my driver. I’m only playing when I go to the country for a week or more so not regular and no practice anymore. Most of my scores now are between 85-90 with a few under and a few over.

Yoga , Gym, strength training Anything is possible

Apply everything in the video over the next couple of months and see what happens. You may be surprised
