I would like to begin by saying that good putting is the main ingredient in the recipe for lower Golf scores.Most amateurs spend more time pounding their driver on the local Golf course driving range, rather than practicing with the clubs that can lower their Golf scores almost immediately ! The main reason we do this is because most of us are taught the game of golf backwards. Let me explain and give you some secrets on how to lower your Golf scores.The next time you go play a round of Golf, I want you to write down every club that you use on each hole on the golf course. Then, when you get home, I want you to write down how many times you used each Golf club including chipping, putting etc. I think you will be amazed to find that you spend more time practicing with the clubs that you use the least in a round of Golf. Now call me crazy but that sounds backwards to me! Amateur golfers should be learning the game from the green with the putter and working their way back to the tee box and the driver not vice- versa. If you really want to lower your Golf scores I challenge you to put that driver away and take out your pitching wedge, nine iron{not a lob wedge-but that’s a whole other article that’s coming soon} and designate all your practice time to your short game. There’s two reasons for this.{1-having a good short game takes the pressure off of your driver and iron game.{ 2- you will find when you look at your score card that 70%-80% of your shots in your Golf round ,will be from 1oo yards and closer! Just hitting alot of fun putts with your buddies on the putting green is not practicing your putting! You need to try and simulate, your on the course conditions, into your practice sessions as closely as possible.
Don’t waste your time practicing with clubs that aren’t going to effectively help you lower your Golf scores.-TO PLAY GOOD GOLF YOU MUST PRACTICE GOOD GOLF. If you will implement some of these simple principles, you will be on your way to lower golf scores. So go out there and te it up and always remember -it’s just a game so enjoy it !
