Enjoying Recreational Golf

The Key Points to Enjoying Recreational Golf:
  • The benchmark term ‘par’ includes 2 putts.
  • More than 65% of all golf shots are made from inside 100 yards.
  • Golf is a look and react game. Think about where you want the ball to be – not how to get it there.
  • You will play your best golf when you take no more than 2 seconds from your last look at the target before you ‘pull the trigger’.
  • Loft is your greatest ally. Less loft – more sidespin and less distance. More loft – more backspin and more accuracy.
  • Invest in your wedges. With today’s green speeds, golfers need a high flying, soft landing shot.
  • Select the right ball for your last two shots – not the first two. Distance balls do not react the way we need them to around greens.
  • Maintain realistic expectations. Unless you are playing and practicing several times weekly, you will see little signs of significant improvement.
