re: Making the jump from the 80’s to the 70’s

Inconsistency always feel like a problem even when I shoot in the mid 70s. I look at my card and get mad at 2 doubles even though I had 3 or 4 birdies.

Two things got me over the edge. 1) Changing big misses to small misses. In other words going from a huge slice into some trees or hazard to a small slice where it’s playable to the front of the green. 2) Getting better at recovery shots. This could be from anywhere. Getting a shot from the rough to anywhere on the green. Or missing the green but chipping it close. So don’t compound a mistake but turn it into an easy par or even bogey and move on.
