Course
Management:
How to Truly Improve your Swing
I have been teaching golfers
of all levels for 11 years. A large majority
of those golfers come in with one goal
in mind. Improve their swing so that they
can shoot lower scores. The first thing
a golfer has to realize is that ball striking
and scoring are not one in the same. They
are inherently different. Many students
come to me and say if I could just get
off the tee better I would be fine. The
truth of the matter is: if their tee shot
were in play and not in a different time
zone, their scores would be better. You
hit an average of 14 tee shots in a round
of golf (par 3's excluded), that leaves
the average golfer who shoots about a
100 with 86 other strokes to play. If
scoring is your main concern, try some
of these helpful solutions to better scoring.
Play to your strengths:
Each golfer usually has a certain club
or area of their game that they feel confident
with. Use different playing strategies
to set up shots that you feel confident
in. I.E. If you struggle from 40 yards
and are much better from 80 yards, try
to leave
yourself that far to approach from the
green from. If your 5 wood is more controllable
than your driver, use it to get your ball
in play. Don't always try to reach the
green from 220 yards, hit two shorter
irons to get the ball to its destination
with as few errors as possible.
