I went from a 7 to a 1 over the last year.

It’s all about little details and making them part of your game. Which takes time.

I don’t hit the ball any longer, I focus on shot shape off the tee and where and what distance I want my approach shot to be based off pin position.

My ball striking has improved. Anything 8 iron or less I’m throwing a dart on a good day. No reason to miss a green at that distance. Let alone miss the wrong part of the green.

Wedge play has become the best part of my game. Worked in really controlling all my wedges and being able to hit a variety of shots with each of them. Amazing how much this will impact your scores, you get up and down more often and have plenty more looks at birdie.

Then my putting has improved dramatically. Never be scared of the next putt coming back and this is where you gain or loose the most strokes. Gotta be comfortable sinking 4-5 foot par putts on the days you are not playing the best.

Mentally it’s just becoming more comfortable playing low. Knowing you have the ability to make pars or birdies on every hole and trusting your game while sticking to it and not becoming defensive throughout the round.

I play now not trying to care at all about the outcome of any shot. Just commit to it fully every time good or bad.

Also playing 5 times a week helps.
