When you come off the 18th green and head into the clubhouse to count scores with your playing partners, everyone always seems to remember making a few key golf mistakes during the round.
Usually, these mistakes involve things like making a bad swing, missing an easy putt, or letting their temper get the best of them.
Golf Mistakes
However, there are two surprisingly SIMPLE fundamental golf mistakes that you rarely hear players admit to after their round.
Do either of these sound familiar?
1) Aiming at nothing.
Nobody wants to admit that one of their shots failed because they forgot to pick a target. But let’s be honest.
Do you take DEAD AIM on every single shot that you hit?
Do you pick the smallest possible target and make sure your clubface and alignment are on target before taking the club back every time?
For most amateur golfers, the answer is no, and the results can be disastrous.
2) Only practicing 20 footers.
Before they tee off, most amateur golfers will head over to the putting green with a sleeve of balls and lazily whack them back and forth at the holes on the putting green. The truth is mindlessly warming up with these 20 to 25-foot putts does little to get you ready for the course.
Instead, focus on putts that are 4 to 8 feet in length. This is where you’ll be vying for those important birdies and par saves, and rolling putts like these into the hole on the practice green will give you the confidence you need to do it on the course.
Sometimes it’s hard, but being honest with yourself is a big part of breaking through to the next level with your game.
The good news? Eliminating a few simple mistakes like these will improve your golf fundamentals, shave strokes off your score without a single swing change.
