Tips For Lowering Your Golf Handicap Ahead of That Big Golf Holiday
Sometimes, when people are booking a golf break with us, our clients ask us to book a couple of lessons at the beginning of their holiday. That makes sense and we can recommend the best teaches in many resorts around the world. However, here are some simple tips to help keep your golf ball budget down!
So without further ado, here are a few golf tips for lowering your golf handicap ahead of your big holiday!
1) Practice, practice, practice!
Sounds obvious, but the best golf tip is to practice as much as possible. While not everyone can get to their local golf course for a round everyday, you can still work on your swing in the privacy of your own home – chipping balls into a bucket in your back garden, or observing your swing movements in a mirror. When practice swinging, start slowly and feel the movement before speeding up to the full tempo. Even a tiny bit of daily practice will help build up your golf muscle memory - it’s amazing what 10 minutes a day can do to your golf holiday performance!
2) Prepare like you’re a pro
On the golf course, there’s a thin line between joy and frustration. If you treat every round like a professional would, you’ll have more fun. Warm up properly, spend a while in the driving range and take appropriate breaks to minimise mistakes. Play this way, and you’re guaranteed to become a more consistent player.
3) Get the right gear
Getting top notch equipment will often cost more than lessons and have less of an impact on your performance. While it’s true that the right equipment can help, it won’t magically transform your game – I’ve seen plenty of talented golfers play well with dreadful clubs and I’ve seen plenty of others play badly with high quality clubs. That said it is a good golf tip, if you’re looking to be the best you can possibly be, to invest in tailor-made clubs to suit your build and swing. And if they don’t improve your game, at least you’ll look good during your golf holiday.
4) Don’t lose track of your short game
Spending lots of time on the driving range and practicing your big swing is one thing, but make sure you don’t forget your short game…”Drive for show, putt for dought!”. It may be a less dramatic shot but good scores are made on and around the green and you use your putter more often than any other club. The good news is that the short game is easier to practice in the comfort of your own garden, and in a few weeks you’ll be in far better shape for your golf break.
5) Analyze your game
The best way of knowing your strengths and weaknesses on the golf course is to pay attention to your performance. If you pay close attention to where you make mistakes, you’ll know which areas of your game need correction. Run through your game and write down the results of each shot – you’ll soon notice where your weaknesses lie so you can practice on them.
6) Don’t expect miracles
Play to your handicap and don’t get upset when you hit a bad shot. Everyone hits bad shots – the trick is to keep your concentration and to make the next shot better.
Whether you have 6 months or 6 days until your big golf break, you’d be amazed at the improvements these tips can make in lowering your golf handicap!

Golf Focus Tip – Keeping Golf Stress Free
The fundamentals of golf are very different than many other sports. Take baseball for example; when you are up at bat to make your swing, your job is to hit the ball as its thrown to you. In other words, the game is built around your reaction towards what someone else is doing. You cannot make your move until the pitcher throws the ball to you.
In golf, however, you are the boss. You are in charge of making every move. The ball just sits there, waiting for you to make your shot. And you are 100% responsible for every play that happens. You cannot blame a bad play on a pitch, another teammate, or any other excuse.
This is what makes golf so difficult, and yet so challenging and fun to play. And on top of that, you have people watching you, all in complete silence. Talk about the need for focus!
A Positive Mindset Goes A Long Way In Golf
Golf requires that you focus and think about every shot you take. Of course in our comparative analysis of the sport of baseball, those players have to think about the mechanics of their game too, but they have little time to really focus and concentrate on what they are doing, as opposed to golf. They are conscious of the pitcher and the person at bat, but everything else is reaction.
Golf requires so much attention to what you are doing that any type of negative thoughts or worries can have a dramatic effect on the quality of your game. Doubt can easily seep into your mind, especially if you are still a beginner. Once this happens, your body tenses up, you may get nervous, jittery, and the next thing you know your ball has landed in the rough. Consider it to be the equivalent of stage fright. Yes, golf can be this difficult.
How can you prevent negative thoughts and feelings from happening while playing on the course? The answer is extremely simple, yet may be difficult to learn.
All you have to do is take action, and do so faster than your mind can start to consider any negative consequences of making a bad swing. That's the thing about golf – you can literally think your way into a slump.
Stick with the basics and focus on simple movements that are repetitive. Keep your body loose and as you are preparing for your shot, shift the weight of your body from foot to foot, back and forth. Wiggle your club a bit and just loosen up, have fun, and stop worrying about anything negative. Just learning how to play a stress-free game may be the hardest lesson you learn in golf.
There is also 2 more valuable tips on golf balls:
1. Keep your golf balls warm: Did you know that a ball will suffer the loss of distance if it is too cold? If you are playing during a cold day, hold on to a few balls inside of your coat pocket and handle them here and there to keep the balls warmed up. You can then alternate balls at each new tee so that you can start one that is warm.
2. Golf balls do not last forever: Golf balls have a shelf life. After approximately 1 year, you will lose distance with the same ball. It is best to keep track of how long you have had your golf balls to avoid using them stale. And remember, three-piece balls tend to lose their quality sooner than two-piece golf balls.
