Golfers who have done it: How did you finally break 80?

---

worked on my short game and focused on hitting the middle of the green instead of trying to shoot at the pin. Also taking smarter shots instead of hoping for the best on low percentage shots.

Worked on short game the most. If you can limit three putts and give your self a shot at going up and down with most of your chips, you will cut a ton of strokes off your scores.

And honestly just playing a lot. I can only very rarely break 80 now because I just don't have the time I did when I was younger. The nerves never really bothered me. Although I did hit a wall. I have never shot par on 18 but have on 9. I have shot 2-3 over par plenty of times but always had a WTF hole or two every round.
