How do  I become a low handicap player?

We all have our own levels of ability but if you are a low double digit handicap player just what do you need to do to become a single figure golfer?

The best way is to ask players off a low single handicap or better.

According to Rory McIlroy the best way to improve is to always play with and against players that are better than you because you can see the level to which you aspire and good habits do rub off.

Other than this there are a few things that low handicap players have in common, namely:

• Practice short putts – try and hole 10 three footers in a row before you leave the practice putting green
• Practice more wedges and drivers than mid-irons – the highest % of shots played in a round are with putter, drivers and wedges.
• Have a ‘go to’ shot under pressure – this will give you confidence rather than make you a bag of nerves in pressure situations.
• Practice with a purpose – there is no point repeating bad habits and just hitting golf balls with a hope that things will change.

Nothing happens overnight but if you persist with the above golfers of all abilities will see their golf improve.
