Tips to Improve Your Golf Score


Tips to Improve Your Golf Score

Most standard golfers have the same goal—to achieve a better score. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, everyone is looking for ways to lower their score on the golf course. One of the best things about joining a country club is the ability to visit the greens and improve your game continually. Working on your drives, putts, and chips can drive down your score, but there are other ways to improve your golf game without making any significant changes to your swing. Below are some of the best golf tips to improve your score.





The Best Golf Tips to Lower Your Score

According to the United States Golf Association (USGA), less than 1% of golfers break 70 consistently, just over 20% break 80 frequently, 73% earn a 90 or better, and 95% regularly break 100. These numbers help put into perspective the challenges every golfer experiences as they look to take their game to the next level. Here are some of the best tips to follow to lower your score:


Have Your Equipment Fitted Properly

Correctly fitted gear can really help your game. Most country clubs have a pro shop with club fitting services to help you with expert advice. Working with a professional club fitter can help you select the best golf equipment based on your swing, measurements, and unique playing style. Sometimes, even the slightest change in equipment can help you achieve a better score on the greens.


Find Your Favorite Club

Find a club where you have confidence in hitting straight and having the best accuracy. Most golfers have a favorite course where they have the most consistent performance. Once you find your favorite club, use it as often as you can.





Take Golf Lessons

Working with a professional not only teaches you the fundamentals of the game but can also help you focus on more advanced techniques that can help your score. At Bluestone Country Club, our talented PGA instruction team is available to help you get the most out of your game. From chipping to driving, our pros can teach members of all ages and skill levels.


Play More Often

The saying “practice makes perfect” is especially true when it comes to golf. The more you visit the greens, work on your short game, and go to the driving range, the more comfortable you will become. You can also try setting goals for yourself each time you hit the links; this can include anything from breaking a specific score to avoiding missing fairways off the tee.
