You don’t need a single par to break 100. In fact, over 18 holes, carding 9 bogeys and 9 double bogeys gets you to 99. If you’re shooting between 100 and 110, ignoring the par score of every hole is your first step to getting into the 90s.

Regulation par is irrelevant
Regulation par scoring demands that you have a birdie putt on every hole. But when you’re trying to break 100, a bogey putt on every hole is YOUR “par”.

Simple shifts in mindset combined with just one or two improvements can get you to that magic number of 99. For most golfers, a small improvement to their short game gets them there, but what works for you?
