| Avoid Mistakes for Lower
Scores By Peter Sanders  (Shot by Shot)
No S _ _ T, Sherlock! Go ahead and say it. Let's take a look at the profile of the "Average" golfer, his scoring tendencies, and see how mistakes impact his scores. Mr. 15 - 19 handicap averages 90, that is for the rounds used in his handicap calculation (the best 10 of his most recent 20 Slope Adjusted Differentials).On the plus side of his
performance, he makes five pars each round and throws in
an occasional birdie (every 2.5 rounds). These good holes
obviously represent some talent, and enough good shots
to keep him coming back. He has a solid
game and we often refer to him as a "Bogey Golfer." This moniker is
only accurate however as it refers to his total
score. If
he were able to limit his bad holes to no worse than
bogey, he would actually be a significantly better
player. Six
shots better, to be exact, which would find his handicap
in the 10 - 14 range. These six shots
come in the form of four double-bogeys, and one triple,
each round.
Reduce these five bad holes to bogeys and presto
six shots saved. more...

| The Dreaded Three Foot
Putt Golf Tip by Derek Ingram  Most people fear the 3-foot putt
or all short putts mainly because, as you get closer to
the hole, the expectation to make the putt increases.
Sometimes people have a fear of missing and then looking
bad in front of their playing partners. They are just
hoping to hear their favourite words "Gimme" or "Pick it
up."
To be an excellent short putter, you need two things: Good Technique and A Pre-Putt Routine. more... |
