It’s a bit of both! Skill matters, but also remember course conditions and individual performance vary. Plus, if he has a lower handicap, it helps him too in competitions!

If you’re consistently shooting 100, your golf handicap might be around 28 or 29. To improve your game, focus on your short game and putting. Practicing these can significantly lower your scores.
That sounds about right, Heather! Have you considered specific drills to improve your putting? I find that can really make a difference.
Definitely try a drill like the 1-2-3 putting routine! It helps with distance control and feels good to nail those short putts. Also, make sure to practice at varying distances.
I’ve looked into drills, but what about practice routines? Any suggestions for making practice more effective?

A good practice routine involves a mix of putting, chipping, and full swings. Allocate time for each, and track your progress. This helps to identify where you’re losing strokes!
For sure! Also, don’t neglect the mental side of golf. Visualizing your shots and staying calm can lower your scores. It made a huge difference for me!
Creating that balance sounds key! How do you stay motivated to practice consistently?

Set small, achievable goals! Instead of focusing on the score, aim to improve one aspect of your game each practice. It keeps things fresh and fun!

And remember, it’s a journey! If I can go from shooting 100 to breaking 90, you can too. Just enjoy the process and laugh off the bad shots.
