YOUR PLAN
FOR THE 80s.

Start with the shots you already have. Choose one scoring task, practice it with a clear target and track what happens on the course.

Three steps for your next round

  1. Choose comfortable tees. A manageable carry matters more than the name or color of a tee box.
  2. Track penalties, three-putts and recoveries. Use your recent scorecard as a starting point in the free scoring calculator.
  3. Practice one task. Try a repeatable drill before adding a training aid or another swing thought.

The guides below build the plan in a practical order. They are educational starting points, not a guarantee of a particular score or a replacement for an instructor watching your game.
