Ten Ways to Lower Your Golf Score By Assistant Golf Professional Scott Swisher of Money Hill Golf & Country Club
2. ... practice your putting and short game three times more than you practice full-swing shots. The reality is the average golfer hits his driver only 14 times a round, while attempting 30 to 35 putts per round. But while you practice your short game ... 3. ... play the golf course more than you practice. Nothing will improve your ability to score more than experience playing the course. 4. Take a series of lessons from a PGA Teaching Professional. Seek qualified advice and constructive feedback on your golf swing. 5. Try to play rounds with golfers who have a low handicap. Experience watching players of a higher ability will improve your course management, an important factor in lowering your golf score. Seek feedback on your course management. 6. Read one book on the mental aspects of golf. I recommend Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect by Dr. Bob Rotella. The ability to think confidently is paramount to lowering your golf score. 7. Play golf by feel. Just hit the ball. Focus your mind strictly on the target. 8. Swing 85 to 90 percent to ensure solid contact and great balance every swing. "Shortening" your swing improves ball control. 9. Enjoy your golf experience to the fullest. Be happy about spending time outdoors on beautiful, meticulously maintained grounds. Attitude is everything. A pleasant attitude breeds confidence, and both factors contribute heavily on the ability to lower your golf score. 10. Make sure your clubs are properly fit. Once your golf swing is fairly repeatable and solid contact is consistently achieved, see a qualified club fitter or teaching instructor to ensure your clubs are properly fit for your particular physical aspects and golf swing.
