Many experienced and dedicated golfers soon find themselves
hitting a plateau – that magic and elusive number – 80. Have you gotten there? Wondered how you can break 80?
If you ask a dozen experts, you’ll probably get a dozen
different opinions on what you need to do to break 80. Here is one solution for how you can break
80.
You’ll make a variety of shots during a typical round of
golf. Whether it’s driving, hitting off
the fairway, chipping or putting, any one of these areas could make or break
your game. To learn how you can break
80, you must perfect your tee shots. For
our purposes, we’ll discuss shots off the tee area with any club – from your
driver to your pitching wedge.
A lot of golfers never reach or break 80 because they lose
too many strokes off the tee.
Just one wild shot from the tee can ruin your overall
score. If you hit a hard slice or hook
into the woods, you’ll likely only be able to bogey that hole. To break 80, you must become consistent and
proficient from the tee.
To master your tee shot, you should concentrate on getting
controlled distance. That’s what will
get you in position for a possible eagle on longer holes and birdies on the
others. Do that consistently and you’ll
be playing in the mid- to high-70s.
Here are some tips to help you maximize your tee shots:
First of all, spend some quality time practicing from the
tee. Try different things to see what
works for you. And keep in mind, that
with this practice, you may end up with a variety of new tee shots you can use
in different situations.
