You want to shoot lower scores? This is a guide I have used for a while. I strongly suggest players follow this until the scoring average is 72, then we can create a player specific plan based on their true strengths.

My advice to freshman! You have four years of free mini tour golf. You are getting free strength training, free competition and free play! You will have a better experience if you think of it as turning pro. So act like and carry yourself like a true professional day 1!

Reminder - IF you want to be a world class putter, make all of your 4’ and in putts and 2 putt everything 20’ - 60’ . If you have good touch you will make enough putts from 5-20 feet. But practice til you can’t on the shorties and the long one’s. IMO everything over 15 feet

Brendan Todd has made around 10 million on the PGA tour. He lit up Harding Park today with a 105 mph driver speed.(many ways to do it) Quit making excuses! Grit matters. Patience matters and perseverance matters.

Tony Romo beat Phil Mickelson by a million today. Does that mean he is better than Phil? (And many others) Absolutely not, so when your kid or someone else’s kid gets beat on a particular day. Please don’t label it as something it’s not! It’s a round of golf, that’s all!

This would be a good time to ask the staff to leave the flags out, not paint cups and remove rakes. Play a few rounds with bunkers as real hazards and no pins. I bet you may shock yourself at how well you score playing every shot to the middle of the green or away from trouble.
