G028. How to Break 80 in Golf

In this video, you’ll learn how to break 80 in golf.

You see the pros on TV…

…and they make it look so easy.

It almost seems like every hole is a chance for them to make birdie.

Well, for most of us that aren’t on the PGA Tour…

Shooting in the 70’s can be a real struggle.

If that’s you, then you’re in the right place.

This video has some great tips for breaking the 80 barrier.

Now, in my breaking 90 video…

The primary goal was to stop coming over the top and start hitting a consistent draw.

To break 80, you’ll need to be able to control your ball flight even more.

You’ll need to hit draws and fades on command.

For draws…

You need to let your club flatten in the backswing…

And swing through with a slight in-to-out path.

For fades…

Open up your stance a bit with the ball position slightly more forward than usual.

Now, feel like you’re still flattening your club in the backswing…

But you’ll swing slightly left through contact.

Here’s a great drill for you…

Alternate hitting a draw and a fade for about 20 shots.

What’s great about this drill is that as you get more feel for draws and fades…

The next time you’re on the course and your flight is off a bit…

You’ll know exactly how to correct your ball flight to straighten it out.

Next tip to break 80…

Work on your wedge shot height control.

To hit your wedge shots lower…

Move the ball back a bit and narrow your stance.

To hit your wedge shots higher…

Put the ball up in your stance a bit and widen your stance.

Now let’s take it to the green…

Set up 3 balls in different spots about 4 feet from the hole.

Put some pressure on yourself by visualizing that the putt really matters.

Take it seriously while practicing so that you’re prepared to drain the putt on the course.

Once you can consistently drain 3 putts in a row, move the balls back a foot to make it tougher.

Repeat this drill and you’ll start draining longer and longer putts almost like it’s automatic.
