As the game of golf involves various aspects to it, it is not an easy game to pick up quickly.
It does get a hold of you and soon you will be looking for golf swing lessons that will help you to break that magical barrier of 80 shots in a round.
Here are 4 quick tips to help you reduce your handicap.
1. Being Focused
Have you noticed how focused the professionals become when playing their golf?
Those who become really good at it seem to be able to control their emotions.
Whether you get frustrated or excited, these emotions can drain you of energy and act as a distraction from that all important concentration that is so vital on the golf course.
2. Managing Your Emotions
Have you observed how serene some of the players become?
Their faces are actually quite boring and expressionless!
Try to emulate these players and you will find you are better able to keep your focus at all times.
Even if you are playing well, there may come a time when you need to hole a difficult putt to save par.
If you are struggling to read the putt you need to make, take a look behind the hole, and often you will be able to see it better.
3. Set Up Your Game Plan
Before an important match or competition take some time to set up your game plan.
Get a course planner and figure out what you can do where and when to score.
If you get off to a good start, remember to stick to your game plan.
Do not start playing too cautiously because you are trying to keep that score.
Likewise, if you are driving the ball well, do not decide that this gives you license to attack each flag disregarding the risk attached to it.
4. Stick To Your Game Plan
Always stick to your game plan that you set up before which will have taken into account the pin position, the wind direction and the overall difficulty of the hole.
A round of golf can take on average 4 hours to complete so it is important to guard against mental and physical fatigue.
Drink plenty of fluids throughout your round and try to take breaks between shots but remembering to refocus before each shot.
Having said that, these are the 4 tips you can implement to help you break 80 barrier and execute your best swing.
