Course Management Will Bring Your Scores Down Quickly!

All Players have certain types of holes that tend to ruin their games, where they have a high Score on them consistently.

These holes vary based on your skill level, and they expose both your Swing Faults and your Strategy errors, which you are not aware of.

So your practice sessions should include range sessions and rounds of nine holes, in which you play a couple of balls by yourself, focusing strictly on course management.

Examples:

1. For the 100 and above golfer, lower scores will come from playing the par 5's better. You need to make more consistent contact with the ball and stay away from high scores.
   
   Remedy: Play 5 woods and 7 woods for your 2nd and 3rd shots into a par five, for control and accuracy....don't wail away with 3 woods and long irons....keep the ball in play.
   
   
2. For the 90-99 golfer, lower scores will come from playing the par 4's better - mainly from improving your shots into the green.
   
   Remedy: Play your 2nd shot on a long par 4 to land in the range of your 8 or 9 iron by hitting a 7 wood or rescue wood, or leave yourself a pitching wedge or sand wedge shot, on a short par 4 with a 7 wood or 5 iron to remain in play so you can play a shot to end up each and every time in the middle of the green.
   
   
3. For the 78-85 golfer, lowering your scores, will come by playing the longer par 3's better and choosing the right time to be aggressive.
   
   Remedy: Play a club or 2 longer into par 3 greens, by gripping down on a longer club 2-3 inches from for more control. Swing smooth, not for the fences. No home run swings. Play a little more aggressive if the entrance to the greens are open and
   bunkerless, which happens more times on long par 3's, because the distance is Challenge enough.

Figure out which category you fit into and play within your limits, and your scores will come down in direct proportion to the amount of practice you commit yourself too.

When in doubt, visit your local CPGA Professional or Golf Instructor.

Keep it in the Short grass, and good things will happen often.
