The majority of golfers who shoot higher than 100 lose their strokes due to poor decision making, penalty, bad putting and trying to recover from a bad shot did it out of stupidity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of attempting to play in the manner of a professional, concentrate on constructing a recurring game that continues the motion of the ball towards the hole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you need to be are your:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold all tee shots in play.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attack the safest rather than the most difficult.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Play better golf with a short game.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce three-putts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t panic when you make mistakes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always play the percentage shot.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among things many golfers find themselves learning when it is too late is the fact that any unnecessary risk adds to your score. Aggressive golf nearly always loses to smart golf when your intention is to break 100.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_the_Ball_in_Play_From_the_Tee\"><\/span><b>Keep the Ball in Play From the Tee<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each stroke of your penalty makes it even more difficult to break 100. This is the reason why distance should never go before accuracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most golfers instinctively pick up their driver, regardless of whether it is the most convenient club in the bag, on each hole. Assuming that your driver is also fond of sending the ball to the trees, rough, or water, then you can use the fairway wood, hybrid, or long iron instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tee shot that remains in fairway but is controlled is a much easier second shot than a longer tee shot that out of bounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-tee: Before each tee shot, ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which club gives me the highest chance of finding the fairway?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where is the safest landing area?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What trouble should I avoid?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I comfortably reach my next shot from here?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decisions like these will regularly save many strokes each round.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_on_Solid_Contact_Before_Distance\"><\/span><b>Focus on Solid Contact Before Distance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swinging harder is one of the greatest myths in golf that they think leads to higher scores. The clean contact in real sense generates space and precision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than attempting to strike the ball and project it as far as possible, focus on making well-balanced and controlled swings. The clubface can swing faster to hit more parts of the ball in the correct trajectory giving it more distance and straighter shots with minimal exertion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indications of getting better at striking ball include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fewer topped shots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better launch.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consistent distance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improved accuracy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swing and swing, finish.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The better you know your contact, the more confidence you have and the more clubs in your bag you can trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_a_Short_Game_That_Saves_Strokes\"><\/span><b>Build a Short Game That Saves Strokes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Majority of golfers take too much time in practicing complete swings, yet almost half of their swings are made within 100 yards of the green.

It is well about making oneself a more intelligent one. Retaining the ball in play, solid contact, bettering your short game, cutting back on three putts and making smarter decisions will get your scores down far sooner than the increase of extra distance. Be patient, have faith in the process and aim at little improvements at a time in each round.
