Three Ways To Lower Your Par In Three Days

Most golfers are looking for ways to lower their par but the only way to accomplish this is still to master the basic shots and fundamentals of golf. How much improvement can you realistically expect to see in just three days? That's the question we'll be asking today. I've identified three areas you should produce the greatest improvement and I'll discuss the benefits of each of them.

Analyze Your Mechanics And Tempo

Shooting lower scores is generally only possible if the mechanics and tempo of your swing are technically proficient. For day one of our three-day system, seeking out specialist help in this area will set you well on the road to a lower par. To accomplish this you have the option of either buying and using golf swing analysis software or hiring a coach or professional to advise you. Software such as CSwing is highly affordable and many swing coaches use it when instructing, even when coaching Masters and PGA champions. It requires you to video yourself (or enlist the help of a friend) and then the software will analyze your swing and suggest areas for improvement.

If you hire a swing coach they may use similar software but at least they'll be able to interpret the results accurately and provide expert tips and feedback. Perhaps consider hiring a swing coach for this first day, finding out what (if any) software is recommended and then after you've had the coaching you can buy the software to help you continue to make progress.

One Day Golf Lessons

For day two of our par-lowering program, sign up for professional, friendly golf instruction in a fun and entertaining environment. One of the best ways to improve your golf is to spend an entire day with a qualified instructor first on the range and then on the golf course. These golfing days are available through any of your local golf clubs and they usually include golf lessons with video analysis, lunch and then a 9-hole playing lesson on the golf course. You can get a group of around four friends together to get the best price.

These one-day practice sessions are the ideal way to make rapid improvements. As you already focused on the tempo and mechanics on the first day, you'll be in an ideal position to take advantage of the analysis offered on the day long golfing session. Your technique will be taken much further, however, as your coach will discuss with you how to get into the right mindset and the importance of playing a short game to lower your par. You will always shoot a lower par if you resist taking the 'hero' shots that you have little chance of being accurate on.

Educate Yourself

Although this is a three-day program, the days don't need to be consecutive and can be spaced across three weekends. My recommendation for the third day is to take what you've learnt about your weakest areas and find specific tips to improve them. Overall, this will see you lowering your par most dramatically. You can either hire a professional for a direct coaching session or find your own golf tips online. Whether you want to add power, stop slicing, make more putts or chip like a champion, your third day will be about ironing out your weak areas. Happy Golfing!
