Consistent golfers

just try not to be shit man.

find the field Judah. i really just try not to think about it. i haven't recorded a score since i was probably 15 but i was a 15 handicap then and i am the most inconsistent golfer. still playing well though. i think i played once this year and shot an 83. oh and practice i guess... do you practice?

dont be boozing either, that shit fucks your game up

Usually try and stay about as loose as being 5 beers deep. keeps my score always like mid 30s for a round of 9.

Not boozing, usually just one jack and coke to get rid of the first hole jitters, then nothing. And I range practice 2-3 times a week and do short game around 5 days a week.

Im hitting good shots I just can't stay focused.

Just play a lot

just try to do better than the last time

you heard it here first Doc, sign this boy up for an adderall script.

My Grandpa taught me how to play golf. His biggest advice to me was to play smart until you got a feel for how on you were that day. His reasoning was that you play better when you're happy, and consistently staying on the fairway keeps your mind positive. Once you figure out if you're on or not you can choose to keep playing safe or begin to play a bit more risky.

i'm consistent as fuck....unfortunately though it's consistently shitty.

I stopped golfing because climbing/paragliding/mountainbiking/cliffjumping are all way more cool.

It used to help for me to keep my energy level up with bringing plenty of food and water with me. And have the same pre shot routine everytime.

This was the stuff I was looking for. Good stuff man.

i need to try this too... It always at the end when I fall off so this probably has a lot to do with as well. Also I only really have a routine when I get around the green, I should carry this over to the big clubs

Nobody cares

I wish I new how to be consistent. The only tip I think helps that I feel a lot know is to take a few practice swings. Put you club down like your going to hit, and remember that point, now take you practice swing and pay attention to where it goes compared to that point. Now position your club's head where the point is and the ball where your swing was. Take your swing and you should hit pretty close to the sweet spot of the club. Help me a lot at least. Wish I knew my grandpa's secret. Played like he's been doing it every other day, and this was his 3rd game in 2 years. It's like riding a bike for him. I envy it so hard.

I'm probably not the best to hear advice from since i only shoot 80s but I can tell you that a simple swing that you dont think about much will help a lot. When I hit I try to just think about a smooth swing and where I want it to go. But consistency will only get you so far in golf and sometimes you gotta accept that your gonna have some bunko ass shots haha.

Over the last year and a half or so, I've dropped from a 6 to a 2.3 handicap and I struggled the most with consistency. The biggest thing I've learned is minimize the mistakes. Golf is a game of constant mistakes and how you handle them. Find your miss and learn to make it manageable. As far as practicing and what will drop your scores:

SHORT GAME SHORT GAME SHORT GAME

Single biggest part of low scores. For every minute you spend with your irons or woods, spend 2 from 125yds and in, as well as 2 around the green and putting. Especially on tour, saving scores comes from getting up and down when you don't have a GIR. There are thousands of putting and chipping drills you can do even at your house without going to the course, and that's the first part of your game to go. Don't chip with range balls either. Take the type of ball that you play with and chip with those so you learn how much they release and how they spin. Youtube and google are incredible for drill work.

Once you get your short game solid, you will see your scores drop tremendously. Golf Channel really does have a lot of great information and you can find whatever your problem is online and ways to fix it. Consistency definitely comes from spending time practicing and playing often, even if it's only chipping in your back yard. Good luck and PM me if you have any specific questions!

I play pretty often. Biggest issue I face with consistency is the short game and boozing. If you booze to much it ruins your game but I find it you don't drink enough im to nervous I need to find that medium.

But also my biggest fault in my game is the short game. I'll crush the long shots but when I need to fines a chip or something like that I tend to mess those up much more

killabeesdont be boozing either, that shit fucks your game up

Its not golf if youre sober

This.

But really, this.

Hey Man, I played golf at a pretty high level thru most of my life, even have a few friends trying to make the tour and the best advice for staying consistent is this:

1. Turn your bad rounds into good rounds. You are rarely going to have everything clicking and going your way on the course, but when you mess up, being able to minimize the damage is huge. For example, I was playing with a friend this weekend he's a 12 and I'm a 2. We both put our shots OB on the 17th hole (Par 4) dropped in the same spot, I made 5 and he made 8. He was so frustrated that he lost concentration. A ball in a hazard, isn't the end of any round.

2. SHORT GAME. If you can't get up and down at least >50% of the time get on the practice green. I've had days where I shot 72 and only hit a handful of greens, and I've had days when I shot 74 and hit every green but couldn't put, or missed the few Up and Downs I had. Having a precise short game is huge, cause let's be honest, if you are a sub 10 handicap and you're not playing the back tees 9/10 you can get the ball within 50 yards of the hole in or around regulation.

3. 4-6 Foot Putts. All those 6 foot par putts you usually miss add up...


4. Consistency is relative. It's 1000% easier for a 10 handicapper to shoot 75 than a 5 handicapper to shoot 70. So figure out what determines a good round for you.

5. Stop smashing drivers at the range. You need to practice the shots that give you trouble or the shots you could capitalize on. For me thats 140 yards. I get that distance numerous times on my home track and it's right at a max 52 degree wedge. So learning to work my PW down is what i focus on.

Hope this helps!

This is great. Only thing I could add is when you practice on the range for that trouble shot, don't hit it over and over and over. Take a few minutes and figure out what works for that shot, then move on. After every 5 shots with other clubs, come back and try to hit it first time. That way you simulate a real round situation. Almost anyone can be somewhat consistent when you hit the same shot over and over. Hopefully you never have to hit the same shot in a round.
