ANECDOTE

Breaking 80 Without Big Distance

  • Michael recalls breaking 80 while hitting only about 240 yards off the tee in high school.
  • He emphasizes you don't need a perfect or long swing to start shooting in the 70s.
ADVICE

Get A Custom Club Fitting

  • Get a custom club fitting to match lofts, lie angles, and shafts to your swing.
  • A proper fitting reduces gaps and makes golf easier, speeding your path to breaking 80.
ADVICE

Use Driver More Often

  • Hit driver more often and leave the 3-wood in the bag for scoring advantage.
  • Play one shot shape and use course-management systems like Decade to simplify decisions.
