Lower your Handicap


The best way to lower your handicap is to look at your score card and see where you are losing the most shots. "How do I do that" you ask? Well the first thing is to start keep a record of a few things on your score card. First F.I.R. that means Fairways in regulation. Every shot you hit off the tee if you hit the fairway make a check. If you miss make a X. Now you can start to see how your driving stats look. Next is G.I.R. that is greens in regulation. How many greens do you hit a round. Last but not least is marking down how many putts you take on each hole. At the end of your round add up your stats to see how many of those shots would have helped you make par. I bet that most of the hole that you shot over par were because you missed putts. Putting is where you have the best chance on lowering your score. If you can sink more putts your handicap will drop. So the next time you go to the range work more on your putting if they have a green for you to do so. You'll help your game and save money because you can buy a Small bucket and usually putting on the green is free.
