Why you will never BREAK 80 in golf (the truth)

these simple golf tips will help you break 80 this season not only are these golf tips simple but they're backed up with stats from the guys at shot school so my first tip to help you lower your scores did you know that a 10 handicap scoring average for par fives is 5.53 whereas a five handicapper averages 5.17 and a scratch handicapper averages 4.76 so my first tip is to get as close to all these par 5 greens as you can and that means finding a golf club that you can easily hit off the floor and that you can get real distance with because the closer you can get to the green the closer your average proximity will be on that third shot so for anyone down that lens who's trying to lay up to their favorite yardage say a hundred yards instead of getting as close as to the green as you can and maybe like 30 jobs for an example I promise you that there is a my new percentage of golfers out there that actually hit it closer from 100 yards than close to the green I promise you it is so so small simply hit that golf ball as far as you can I've done a video recently on Fairway woods and how you can start hitting them better and what potentially equipment you should have if you haven't checked that video out I'll put it in the description in the corner here we need you to find a golf club whether it's a hybrid whether it's a fairway wood it doesn't matter you need to be good from the Fairway and it needs to get you as much distance as possible now I know some par fives are going to have hazards and trouble up there and in those instances you might have to lay up to your 100 yards or whatever the yardage is to keep away from danger because your dispersion might not be as accurate to get into those tiny small spaces but these are the goals that I want you to go and experiment on and an experiment isn't just a one-off I'm gonna try it today an experiment is let's be aggressive for a month or two months worth of golf let's be safe for a month or two months worth of golf see what your scoring average is and keep doing the one that's got the lower scoring average because if you want to break 80 you need that scoring average on par fives to get as close to five or better as you can foreign tip number two approach play one stat to help you break 80 more often is that your greens and regulations needs to get above 40 percent if you're hitting 40 percent of greens and regulation that leaves you with 60 missing I know quick maths what you gotta think though if you're missing 60 of greens you need to be thinking about where you want to miss them and you need to do everything you can to miss bunkers because on average a 10 handicap when missing the green and in a bunker is only up and Downing 26 of the time but if they're in the rough they're up and Downing 48 of the time so yes obviously try and get your greens and regulation up as hard as you can but also think about where you want to miss the green there's a bunker on the left hand side here and I'm going to rain down the right hand side if I miss the green on the right I've got loads more chance of getting up and down than if my ball ends up in that bunker if I hit the green great if I push it a little bit fine as well because I know my percentages are higher of getting that ball up and down think about your course management think about where you want to hit your golf ball oh that's it is that straight at it oh a little left middle of the green again not a basic swing tip just a simple course management tip that's going to help you lower your scores so if you don't listen to my advice and do hit it in a bunker obviously you're gonna hit in a bunker at some point aren't you let's help you get out tip number three let's only twist your Club face open a little bit so let's pretend my club lean edges point at 12 o'clock open it to about one hardly open it don't go and whack it lying flat on the floor because you're gonna have to put loads of speed into it this has got plenty of Loft ball position slightly forward weight on your left hand side and then we're gonna really feel like we keep this club as low to the ground as possible it feels like it's really swinging around you that club's passing me I'm not leading with my handle real simple tips to get this golf ball out nice and easy and finally putting 10 handicaps average a three pack every 14.9 holes oh dear which means we need to eliminate all three putts so distance control is key here's a little drill for you two paces five feet two paces ten feet two pieces 15 feet two facing 20 feet you can keep going as far back as you want pop the flag down behind the hole you can do this on the practice green as you're playing nine holes and there's no one behind at home give yourself a margin forever and make it as easy or as tough as you want hit one two three four five parts from each station each ball has even got to go in or past the hole but don't touch the flag Pat's decided to go in move back that has passed the hole and in between the flag you might find that you have a pattern you might be worse from a certain distance and you are others that means you need to go and practice that distance obviously but also this is a little like drill to also help you whenever you're out on the course because if I'm taking the flag out for instance I can then Pace back one step two step right that's my five foot distance three four five six right that's my 15 foot distance and then I can relate to that to my practice and get my distance control spot on practice this drill uphill downhill flat lies so you get used to the pace of all three Tupac I give these tips and tricks to all of my students because pretty much every golf was trying to break 80. you're in a small percentage
