Break 100
Break it down

You’re 150 yards out for your fourth shot on a par 5: Do you pull out your hybrid and go for the green? Or, do you take a comfortable #7 to within 40 yards and pitch it onto the green? If you’re trying to break 100, the latter approach is the one to go with.

Sticking with our par 5 example; instead of constricting yourself to what the course dictates (a drive, wood and iron), you could go with driver, hybrid, two irons and a wedge. You’d be on the green with a bogey putt. A two-putt from there to finish with double bogey still puts you on track to break 100. Remember, 9 bogeys and 9 double bogeys gets you to 99.

Break it down to break 100

Place 9 golf balls at various spots around the practice green and see how many shots you need to chip and putt all 9 into the hole. If your score is over 36, you’re going to struggle to break 100 out on the course. Let’s get together at the practice area and sharpen your short game.
