The best way to save THREE SHOTS per round, as told by Adam Glass, PGA Professional at De Vere Wokefield Estate Golf Club…
TIP ONE:
Too many amateurs miss putts inside of three feet. Pro golfers hole 97 per cent of putts inside of three feet. It’s not physically demanding but can really tidy up a scorecard. I would say check your alignment, you can learn to be great at holing out once you learn to aim.
TIP TWO:
Try to finish the round with the golf ball you started with. I see so many amateurs trying to hit heroic shots when they would be far better keeping the ball in play even if that means the 5-iron off the tee. Try to think smarter in order to save shots.
TIP THREE:
Get out of bunkers first time. It’s no good hitting a great drive and hitting the approach 10 yards short only to take another four shots to get out of the free side trap. To help, try going to a practice bunker and hitting a line in the sand to get a consistent low point, don’t be scared to get the face wide open.
