How To Break 90 In Golf 

Cheers great video, very good explanation...smooth an steady. 64yrs 16hcap 5 wood, 5hybrid, 7i 9i pw sw putter no drama keeping it on the cut grass, we have a very very tight tree lined course from Sydney Australia thnks

Just watched this last week and hit 90 this weekend! I wasn't striking the ball very well, but course management got me there. Thanks for this!

Well done! One of the things I appreciate about the golf course is the nature.

Butta, looks a little better than isle dauphin! Great work by Brian and crew!

In stableford scoring. Having a zero point hole restricts scoring. So for a 19 hcapper on hole index 1 par 4 4 for 4 5 for 3 6 for 2 7 for 1 Out =0.

Youve saved me two strokes before I even start!!! I no longer bring out the driver till about the third or 4 th hole!!!

i like they way your so honest about the way you play btw i watched your video teaching the young girl i copied the tilt & it has straighten my swing thank you

Thanks Michael for this video! I think I’ll engrain “Putt for Par” in my brain. I’m going to try it out on my round in a few hours. Hopefully it should work. 😊

Nice presentation. You made just a few minor mis-hits off the tee. The rest of your shots, especially the short game was pretty much right on. The high handicapper tends to chunk or thin some of those. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

problem is with golfers like me trying to break 100 or 90 consistently, there always seems to be those unexpected and totally wasted shots , ( like hitting the ball fat or thin) , then the anxiety builds and snowballs......that part of game management is what I most like to know how to avoid .......thanks

Enjoyed this , thanks , looking forward to trying to break 90 on Monday in southern Ireland 👍😀

Great video. Could do something similar for those of us who want to break 80? Thanks!

One word, accuracy......... don't try to blast the ball as far as you can, play safe and smart, keep it out of the rough, try to avoid bunkers, if you think you can hit for example a drive and 5 iron on to a par 4, why bother risking it - - - - 7 iron, 7 iron, 7 iron, maybe 1 putt or at most 2, walk off with either 4 or 5.

In golf we never talk about fairway bunkers. 😂 If that is what your brain is focused on while standing on the tee box, that is exactly where you are going😢

@11:05 - you didn't pull anything. You literally aimed exactly where it went... check your practice divot...

Break ninety , stop hitting bad stuff and trying to tour pro your way out - putt to distance . Job done , nows the hard bit …

I watched break 90: being honest there was nothing there that I didnt know already BUT it was a very good reminder and gives me an aim for my nest game! Thank you Michael.

I am on that "want to break 90 all the time " spot. HC per Hole19 is 18.5 over my last 10/20 rounds. Broke 90 5 of them. My 3 biggest hold backs 1) concentration, slowing myself down 2) Alignment, for some reason I feel aligned-hit the ball straight, and I am 30 yards right on 150 yard shot 3) Distance with 205 driver and 90 yard PW can't hit a 3w so my next club is 5w at 175 so little room for bad shots. So back to issue 1) Concentration!!!

I wrote a booklet (yet unpublished) about Breaking 100. I'm a 20 handicap player and always trying to break 90. You are are spot on in your instruction. I emphasize that distance is not the primary concern at this level. If you can just hit the ball 100-125-yds, you will be on or near most par 4 holes. Concentrate on the par 3's which you'll be on or near in one shot. Spend a lot of time on chipping and putting where distance control is key. And use the 27 extra shots you get wisely by avoiding the trouble- as you clearly point out. Nice job!!

I was being a little fascecious but I have gone into the 90 one.

Good instructions! 😊 It seems like the young high hcp guys who play golf about once per month, always play from the farthest tee boxes. I guess they want to get their moneys-worth. On the first tee, they swing their driver head extra fast and hit a push into the trees. Then they pitch out too far or fat it short. Then they lose patience and play a high skill shot into the green, hoping to get lucky, usually missing the green short. Then they take the most difficult club to chip up, a lob wedge, and hit more turf than ball. Then then they don't understand the value of well struck lag putts and move their head before they complete their putting stroke and end up three putting for a triple-bogie 7. How do I know? I know this because I've done this many times.

Lectures everyone about filling divots on first hole. Doesn't carry a sand bucket to fill his own hole on 2nd..

This is exactly what I needed to find! Cant wait to put it into practice this weekend, thank you.

your right on target, I am working on breaking 80 but I still use the same strategy on course management that you suggest. I'm going to show this to my golf partner, he is guilty of all the don'ts that you mentioned.

Great video, gonna put the driver away a little more often and gonna try to stop using my 60 for those chips a few paces away from the green

Cheers for the video mate. Great video from the everyday golfer. G'day from Australia.
