Improve your score and cross the 100's

Improve your score and cross the 100's

If you're a golfer with average score of 100+ and want to improve your score and cross the 100's, then this tips is for you to read.

Please let me go through the characteristics of the golf game of the 100'ers. These are common characteristics that may or may not match your actual game, but I am sure that some of them will make you feel I am writing specifically about you.

1. Teeing off. Not that you can't get your driving right, but it only happen on good days. You can drive your ball straight and considerably good distance, but that doesn't happen everytime. On bad days (that happen often), the ball is either losing the loft and going for very short distance, or fading. Draw or hook is unlikely to be your problem.

2. On the green play. Picture this, you teed off perfectly on a par 4 with good distance and landed on the fairway. You reckon that another hit with a hybrid or a fairway wood will surely land on the putting green. You take your stance, do your back swing, and MIS-HIT. You're topping the ball and the ball rolled 20-30 meters away. You wasted one hit.

3. On the hazard/bunkers.OK, nothing much to say here. The ball is on the bunker, you hit, the sands are all over the place, but there it goes, your ball is still on the bunker, 2 or 3 meters away.
4. On the putting green.You can control the power of the put quite good. No need to hope that you can do the long putt consistently, that belong to the pros. You had a long putt, the ball went to the left or the right, and stopped 1 meter away from the hole. You putt it again, but, alas, you still miss.
Now if either one of the above happen in every hole, you would have wasted 18 of your score. If you score 105 with that, you could have got 87. Isn't that fantastic? If you can address half of the "problem", statistically you could have scored 96. So which ones are you going to focus to fix first?
