After playing tons of rounds with so many people, I noticed what the good golfers do that others don't.
So many people buy new golf gear year after year, but they soon realize that it doesn't help much no matter how many times they change their driver!
The more educated believe that having a great swing is key to a low score. They usually laugh at the people that buy equipment, but these golfers spend money on lessons, practicing, practicing and practicing.
The ultra addicted always practice their short game. It might be the best method but it's ultra hard to do because it takes so much time! Practice, hitting ball after ball after ball will become routine if you fall under this category.
Check these tips because these are very simple to implement.
1. Glove - Changing your gloves as much as you can afford to is essential for a good game. Once it starts slipping, then bye bye good ball striking.
2. Spikes - New spikes usually bring new life into my golf game. No longer am I slipping all over the place but it's also easier to walk the course with it. Especially in the sand or in uneven lies, I hit the ball much better.
3. Tees - When I hit my tee shots, I want the ball to hit the sweet spot of the club face every time. Having the same tee height is the only way I can do this (apart from having a repeatable swing).
4. Hydration - In the early days of my golfing career, I would play well and then lose the edge towards the end of the round. After a while of this frustration, I read somewhere that keeping myself hydrated will help me sustain my energy and focus. This means drinking water, Gatorade or some type of liquids throughout the round. Nowadays, it wouldn't be uncommon for me to drink 2-3 bottles of water during an 18-hole round. 4-6 strokes saved
5. Warm up - Try to Warm up if you don't want to spend the first few holes figuring out whether you are slicing or hooking. It is also much healthier for your back.
6. Eat Light - Don't eat something heavy because you will feel sleepy and your muscles will slow down. You don't want to hit the ball shorter than normal do you? With too much in your stomach, you also won't be able to focus as much.
