Golfers often wonder what is an “average” or “decent” golf score in golf. Well, I bet you would be very surprised to learn that that average golf score for the vast majority of golfers (about 85%) is still over 100, as it has been for the last 30 years!

But if you are talking about aspirational golf scores, most golfers would be very happy if they could shoot in the “80’s” on a consistent basis. Though it may not sound like a big deal, most golfers never do!

So how do you become a consistent “80’s” golfer?

First of all, spend less time at the driving range working on your full swing and spend more time working on your short game, especially putting. It is estimated that 60% or more of your golf score is made up of your short game shots (or shots 100 yards and in to the hole). Yes, driving the ball in the fairway is important. However, any pro will tell you that the short game is the secret to lower golf scores.

Second, develop a solid practice routine that not only incorporates all aspects of your golf game, but devotes half or more of your practice routine on the short game. For example, you could start your practice routine with a few chip shots and pitch shots, then work your way through your irons. Then you could devote some time to pitching and chipping, then work your way through your woods. You can then devote the remainder of your practice time on putting and a few “up and down” practice games. If you practice efficiently, you can basically hit on all aspects of your game in 30 minutes to an hour.

Finally, to really lower your golf score, identify your top 1 or 2 weaknesses and focus on that weakness for a portion of your practice routine. Incorporate a few practice drills to fix that weakness and alternate between the practice drill and a smooth fluid swing to instill the movements from the practice drill into your swing.
