Breaking 90 is a great goal for most average golfers, it’s extremely rewarding when you achieve it!
So, whether your goal is to break 90 for the first time, or to shoot in the 80’s on a consistent basis here are a few tips to help you out.
Just follow these 3 rules and you’ll find that breaking 90 is as easy as 1..2..3.. or A...B...C! (hey isn't that a song?)
Adopt This Strategy: 18 x 5 = 90, so the best strategy for breaking 90 is to forget about what the scorecard says and think of every hole as a par 5! Instead of playing a risky shot on those long par 4’s lay up with your favorite iron. When you’re thinking your way around the course like this you’ll be amazed at how much easier the game seems.
Be Consistent: Playing good golf requires discipline, and that means using the same pre-shot routine every time you step to a golf ball. This usually involves visualizing your shot, lining it up, and taking a practice swing or two before addressing the ball. The key is doing the same exact thing before every shot - even on the driving range.
Concentrate on improving your short game: If you’re trying to break 90 you probably aren’t hitting every green in regulation. But, there’s a good chance you are ending up around the green in regulation on many holes. Next time you’re thinking of heading to the driving range skip it and work on your chipping and putting instead. You’ll be surprised by how much difference a 30 minute short game practice session once a week can have on your scorecard.
This is Golf as You've Always Imagined!
