We are confident that by following these five key checkpoints and improving in each of these areas your scores will consistently be below 90 and your handicap will be reducing also.

So I know a lot of people watching this video now would be ecstatic if they were writing down a score that started with the number 8 and won starting with the number 9. So hey we're going to give you 5 tips how we can break that elusive number of 90. OK So 90 around the golf course map a lot of golfers would be playing below an 80 handicap yep making a better score than a bogey on every single hole. Exactly be a nice way to or top of the round. One OK so we got 5 things 5 things number one hit me with it. OK getting out because every time that would be that would be my one. I speak to so many golfers that tell me they are all for a good score yes they were looking to break into the eighty's they're going to shoot less than 90 and they got a bunker and then 4 to get out sign for 93.

I think if you could just even it doesn't have to be that the bunker shot is close finishing you know like this spectacular high spinning shot. If it's just get it back into play or if it's a green side on on to the green take your medicine off we go it doesn't have to be the miraculous get it out 1st time don't spend any more time in than you need to if we went out and took 2 thoughts we generally consider that to me you're successful bunker shot for that level of golf. Yes definitely OK so number 2 from there I'm going to throw into the mix putting and more importantly holing more of our short putts if we can get good from holing out from for 4 foot and in general you know we'll say on T.V. that they never really miss one. It's sort of a 75 percent in time average going game if we can get really good at holing for 4 foot putts it's you know no one holing more than it's probably going to cut down on three putts as well like mixing that into it. So holing 4 foot putts is a big one would you say Pete? I think so because I think a lot of the time the average golfer shooting around about this it's called when they do hit the green you know it's really not that close so they're not in the green, but they might be 35 feet away no problem still on the green you know if you can they're not the 1st putt within 3 or 4 feet and then a whole lot of great if you. Agree not to fall for and then miss the full force of your school go back up again and you feel really frustrated but that was your chance to make a par on a par in regulation fell the agree not to close missed it it's a bit frustrating as a with to a wasted shot.

Yeah definitely the missing the 4 footers would be a bad one and the next one of that kind of relates to that and why would be hard look to try and hit the middle of the green with your approach. Which itself is of this level we don't need to be enough to keep flags out the need to be chasing flags over water hazards or anything like that so if I'm still gets a 100 yards out on the greens took to in the corner on the flags in the corner behind a bunker I would suggest a few less than 90. Don't be suckered into that position I aim for the nice middle part the green the fast to the green anything on the green is going to be good enough to try to make par or make a bogey which is definitely sometimes a bit like a homing beacon to say. When I got a client they've not got concrete control of the golf ball they've got a good level of a ball the flags I've got to go to and they don't quite take into account what is around and all of a sudden they rack up a high number because they didn't play to the center where it becomes a lot easier to put some from that the actual strike of the golf club. I mean although we want to be going center all the time I think for a lot of golfers the base level they have basic fundamentals these technique capable far enough but maybe they still throw in the yard talk and the odd putts and as much as anything that damages the confidence and really gets frustrating when you're looking at an opportunity as we have such a 120 yards into a green.

I've got a relatively short club I shouldn't really be too left or right I should be 2 way with long or short enough that I've got enough pull to reach that if I fast and it rolls off the end of the teeing ground I'm going to be really frustrated with that shot. So to shoot this score we really want to make a good contact on the golf ball to to at least get off the end of the teeing ground with a decent strike. I thought you were a warming up out for the other lot now you're going to leave or you're going to leave that one for the end. OK the final one I think this is. How we think is golfers on the golf course bogeys sometimes a can't make a bogey a bogey is not a bad score again particularly related to this level of switched on the right stuff 18 bogies around the golf course will possibly to get round in 92 when we need one path and the rest can be bogies you know exactly making a bogey is not a bad thing and to some golfers if they aim to make a bogey they might even make more pars definitely economically and make a good. Yeah you think about the example of the time we hit a tee shot it's not really me go slightly into the tree if I walk into the trees with the mindset of I'm gonna make par the bogey to get on the green to make par suddenly have conjured up a coaching for and through the branches trying to land it on the green the trees makes a double bogey triple bogey lost a golf ball whatever but if I had to settle some of them in the tree take my medicine chip out to leave a 100 yards in and 100 yards on the green 2 plops make a bogey to make a bogey on the bad he shot a hole that's going to be quite successful. So my last tip exactly that would be make a bogey is not necessarily about score if you're trying to start your score in the eighty's not the ninety's fantastic so 5 points that is hopefully going to lead to you breaking that 90 by area we've got getting out of bunkers 1st time holing some more putts from 4 foot and in and playing to the center and greens strikes good strike right I am bogey isn't a bad score. If you can start to do more of those things hopefully you're going to see that you're breaking that 90 barrier.
