About this episode
Breaking 100 is one of the most rewarding milestones in golf, and it is closer than most people think. In this episode, Tommy walks through five practical tips covering scoring strategy, practice habits, course management, and mindset that will help you get there faster. Whether you are stuck at 105 or hovering right on the edge, these are the adjustments that actually move the needle.
What You'll Take Away:
- Why minimizing triple bogeys matters more than eliminating doubles
- How to get out of trouble without compounding one bad shot with a second bad decision
- Why spending the majority of your practice time inside 100 yards fast-tracks your improvement
- Simple short game alternatives to the 60-degree wedge that will quietly save you strokes
- How to manage the tee box and stop giving away penalty strokes before the hole even starts
- Why aiming for the center of the green and taking one extra club changes everything
- The counterintuitive mindset shift that may lower your score faster than any technical tip
