We\nall have our own levels of ability but if you are a low double digit handicap\nplayer just what do you need to do to become a single figure golfer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nbest way is to ask players off a low single handicap or better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According\nto Rory McIlroy the best way to improve is to always play with and against\nplayers that are better than you because you can see the level to which you\naspire and good habits do rub off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other\nthan this there are a few things that low handicap players have in common, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Practice\nshort putts \u2013 try and hole 10 three footers in a row before you leave the\npractice putting green<\/li>
  2. Practice\nmore wedges and drivers than mid-irons \u2013 the highest % of shots played in a\nround are with putter, drivers and wedges.<\/li>
  3. Have\na \u2018go to\u2019 shot under pressure \u2013 this will give you confidence rather than make\nyou a bag of nerves in pressure situations.<\/li>
  4. Practice\nwith a purpose \u2013 there is no point repeating bad habits and just hitting golf\nballs with a hope that things will change.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Nothing\nhappens overnight but if you persist with the above golfers of all abilities\nwill see their golf improve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
