Golf Tips

CHANGE YOUR FOCUS FROM SCORE TO STATS

The next time you play a round of golf try keeping track of your stats.  Set your scorecard up to look like this:

Place a check mark when you drive in the fairway, make the green in regulation & list the number of putts you had on each hole. You can also place an arrow indicating directional patterns & label L for Long and S for Short for distance evaluation. Focusing on the shot at hand instead of your score can help improve your game. This information is also very useful in developing practice plans & taking lessons. You want to practice the weakest part of your game the most.
