In golf, good scores can be recorded when the ability to swing without ups and downs and the ability to make strategic decisions are combined. In the case of top players, the judgment ability to decide which shot to use according to the situation is sometimes more important than swing technique, but for an amateur golfer's score, the absolute most important factor is 'how consistent is the swing?'
For amateur golfers, whether they make few mistakes has more influence on their score than whether they make many good shots. If your swing lacks consistency, shot mistakes are bound to be frequent. Bogey players tend to make shot mistakes three times more than single golfers.
So what mistakes do we make the most and how can we improve them?
OB
In the case of driver shots, which have particularly high OB, you must give up your greed for distance in order to reduce mistakes.
This is because if you are greedy for distance, the consistency of your swing may be disrupted.
Also, it is a good idea to exclude clubs that you do not feel confident in when practicing.
Approach shot mistake
A hole strategy aimed at making a birdie has a much higher chance of making a mistake than a strategy aiming for a par on. Choosing a strategy with a low chance of making mistakes is a key way to reduce your score.
Multiple putting mistakes when on the green
Learning the distance of putting is also an area that can be practiced and trained on your own without any personal guidance lessons.
You need to continuously practice feeling the feeling of putting, and one way to get a better feel of your hands is to wake up in the morning and grab the putter right away.
If you spend about 10 minutes every morning practicing putting before your physical senses are activated, you will experience an improvement in your putting sense without even realizing it.
The secret to reducing your score in a short period of time is to reduce mistakes. It is good to increase the distance of your driver or be good at iron shots, but if you are good at playing around the green by reducing mistakes, you can improve your score in a short period of time.
