Every golfer’s goal is to pass a benchmark score. The three major ones for recreational golfers are 100, 90, and 80.

There are really two problems to solve. One, how to break that benchmark score. Two, how to keep doing it. They both have the same solution.

Move up one set of tees and play a shorter course. If you are close to that benchmark, doing this should get you past it. First problem solved.

Then take a good look at how you did it from up here and compare it with why you can’t do it from back there. Work on eliminating the difference. Second problem solved.
