How can I cut 2 or 3 strokes off of my golf round?
Im really close to making my varsity golf team and need an idea to lower my score by 2 or 3 shots. Any suggestions?
I'll probably sound like a broken record since many already stated it, but chipping and putting is the fastest way to cut strokes off of your round. Scorecards don't care how you make par, so you don't have to get the traditional par where you hit a nice drive, hit green, and two putt. You can block it right, punch next to the bunker, chip close, and drain that putt for a par!
So, I agree with the rest. Work on your chipping and putting. There are a ton of practice styles out there so you have to choose the type that works best for you. My two favorite are the following:
1) Find a straight line on the practice green and make ten putts(in a row) from 6 inches and move it another 6 inches away(now at 1 foot) and make ten more putts in a row. Keep moving 6 inches as you make another ten in a row. However, if you miss any, you start back from the very beginning! This can take hours, but it's effective practice.(take breaks as your back may get sore) The goal of this is to give you the confidence at a certain distance when putting. This drill has given me a comfort radius of about 12 feet. Sure I don't always cash it in from 12 feet, but I do make a lot. How does this benefit me? Well, I pretend there is an imaginary circle around the cup when I play, so when I'm chipping, I'm trying to get it into that 12 foot radius. If I can get it in that "circle zone," I know I have a great chance for par.
2) This is one of my favorite games on the golf course(do it later in the day when there are less people) Go to a hole on the course and drop 10 balls all around the green from various distances up to 40 yards. You chip all ten balls on the green and then putt them all in. With ten golf balls, your goal is to get every ball in the hole in a total of 20 strokes or less. In other words, your main goal is to get every ball up and down as if you were trying to save par. 20 strokes or less is probably too difficult at first, so try give yourself some leeway and try to get all 10 balls in 25 strokes or under(converting 5 pars out of 10 golf balls!)
Don't bump the ball at all. Play all 10 balls as they lie. This will help simulate a realistic lie when you play a real round.
Here is the great secret about chipping and putting at your level(the highschool level) This will not only help you shave your strokes, but it's very possible that it will add a stroke or two to your opponents score(in this case, your teammates who are trying to take your varsity spot!)
Lots of highschool players still play their competition rather than the golf course. So, in your foursome, if they see you having a shaky day, yet you are still keeping up with them(or beatin them) because you keep getting up and down for pars, it's possible they will start to press and will make mistakes!
Work hard my friend.
