Consistent chipping and putting will do wonders for your score card.
And I don’t mean performing on the course consistently; rather, spending a lot of time on and around the practice green. Mind you, I am better at giving advice than following. Signed, a 15 handicapper.
As an advanced beginner, here are my thoughts:
You drive for show and you chip/putt for dough. Too many people hit the range and don’t focus on the rest and that is a mistake. If anything, start with putting, then chipping and the irons/driving.
As a beginner, focus on direction and not distance. Hitting 300 yards means nothing if it ends up in the water or trees. If you can get consistently get 175 yards in your desired direction,m and can adjust to say 50, 100, 125 as needed you will be much better off. Think of it this way: you have a par 4 hole with 400 yards. If you can get 175, 150 and 50 in the first three in the right direction, you are 25 yards away with one to go. Say you take two more and are one over par, that is much better than where you probably are today. So don’t get greedy or intimidated by people who hit 300 yards from the tee. Have a strategy and stick to it: the math is simple
That is exactly what I mean by direction. Getting it consistently on the fairway
Going to the range to exclusively work on my irons and just working on 30
yard and under chipping has greatly improved those aspects of my game in the last year or so. I still have blunders and poor hits, but compared to a year ago I actually make consistent contact with my irons at a higher percentage and can actually chip vs thinning it over the green, and that’s all because I’ve practiced as much as possible. Also watching lots of YouTube videos and trying to work on those things at the range, and also when actually playing.
Rising Star
Absolutely feel like lessons have helped. I was a consistent 86-89 before I took any lessons. Played the game 7 years. Finally took lessons last year, now I’m sitting with an 81 average over my last 22 rounds, breaking 80 7 times. Lessons + short game work has done me wonders over the last year
The latter for me as well, but the big breakthrough (+hc) started when I got out of my own head and started playing golf not golf swing. Lessons are critical to get you to a point where you have good fundamentals and a little control over the ball, but after that it’s 90% confidence and managing your own expectations
I been shit for awhile. Thinking of getting some coaching since my buddy said it helped him a lot. He’s still bad tho but it’s the idea that’s matters 😭
i’ve been stuck at bogey golf for a couple years with consistent practice and playing 3x a week year around. average 4-5 pars per 18 and 4-5 doubles per 18 . its a plateau for me
Plateaus and breakthroughs 100%.
Lessons, at least on the long game, will likely make you worse in the short term.
