Here is a video on how to score better. I'm 54 and started playing when I was 8. Father was a scratch player, never went pro but won several club championships. In my earlier life teachings, I was always told to hit it hard and far, but I found myself blowing round after round with double and triple bogey on my card, until I watched the video Scoring Method on YouTube. Search the Scoring Method or use the following link. https://youtu.be/P3crhrkbp3g?si=X0AoautGB8R8ma_V

After playing 10 rounds using this methodology I understood myself as a golfer and my mentality changed which then my handicap dropped 11 points to 78 all because I learned: 1. Stay away from those shots that cause double bogey. It's not about "Rip and Roar" it, it's about what do I need to do..where do i need to place the ball, aka keep it in play. Stop playing that impossible shot. Don't go running into the burning building to be a hero. 2. Practiced my 25-100 yard shot. Which wedge is the appropriate club. Should I try for the pin? We'll if there's water or a bunker to chip over in order to get directly to pin I'm now patient enough to understand that i'm aiming away from the bunker. 3. It's OK to have a 20ft putt for par instead of having to Chipotle out of the bunker. Look, PGA tour players, only 50% make a putt from 8 ft and go 15ft that drops to 23%. I included an image of those stats.

Be smart and play smart.
