Two tips to help you break a 100?
Improve your short game.
I know you may have heard this before. But let me help sell it to you. During the last thirty years there have been many new golf courses built and often in this period these have been built with large greens. This is to help speed up play. If you are a member or regular player of these golf courses. Improving your long distance putting will go along way to breaking that 100. Statistics can flatter the golf. Hitting 12 or 15 greens in regulation sounds great. However you may be over 20 yards away from the pin. Amateur or professional would struggle to two putt from that distance. Practice your distance putting and reduce the three or four putt. Move your putting average below 39 strokes per round.
If your golf course is traditional private or an expensive pay and play normally these greens are smaller or tricky to read. Smaller greens often means you are hitting the apron or the fringe more often. Not bad shots just harder to hit the target. This means you must become a better a chipper. Experiment with the 9 iron rather that than the 7 iron for a chip run. The 9 iron pops the ball up and runs less. Blow the budget on a new lob wedge or get the old one out of retirement. With the modern golf ball it can be a useful weapon. It spins and lands softly for better control.
To break a 100 practice the putting and short game. Remember your club head speed for clubs around and on the green is the same as a Tour Player. Think about it. The same speed as a Tour Player. How many hours does a tour player practice their short game? Ok. You won’t have same time to practice a that a tour player has but make the time if you want to break a 100.
