Golf Instruction – Stop Throwing Silly Shots Away!

If your going learn how to break 80 then you better stop thinking your Tiger Woods and play to your own ability.  My biggest problem was that I would watch the pro’s on TV and try the big shots all the time, the trouble it got me into was unbelievable and so silly when I think back now.

So first of all you must play smart, don’t get roped into ego battles with your playing partners and play to your strength’s.  One of the best golf tips for starting your quest to break 80 is to stop trying to murder the golf ball with your drives.  I found that standing behind the ball and visualizing the shot I wanted to play in my mind then with a gentle golf grip and a smooth golf swing, only hitting the ball at 70% I would hit double the amount of fairways and believe it or not my distance improved.

This one change alone made a massive impact on my golf game, the freedom those great drives gave me to take  pressure of my short game and in turn put pressure on my playing partners.  There jaws would drop at the ease I was showing them how to hit a draw and how to hit a fade at will of the tee.

I was learning how to break 80 at a fast rate and it was frustrating my playing partners.  I took great pleasure in watching as they would turn up with the new and latest driver on the market hoping that it would turn their game around, I also learned that they was secretly having golfing lessons in a bid to beat me.

While I’m on the subject of changing equipment I want to point out that I’m very big on getting the right gear tailored to your golf swing and body stature, but changing your clubs every time you have a bad round or reading that the latest greatest club will transform your game will work, it won’t trust me on this one.  Consistency is key and if you want to knowthis is very important.
