re: Breaking 80

I’m at 4.7 now and been as low as a 3.1 in the last 6 months. Broke par for the first time last November. If you want to break 80 get better from 75 and in and practice putts from 15ft and in.

The difference is being able to get up and down. Instead of a pitch/chip leaving you 25/30ft, you want to leave yourself 10ft or less and then be able to make a good run at the put. Some will fall; more will the more you practice. That’s the difference in 77-79 and 81-82 over the course of 18 holes.

TL;DR: get good from 75 and in and practice 5-15ft putts until your sick of it. Going from mid 80s to high 70s consistently is way easier than high 70s to low 70s/breaking par.
