Welcome to GOLF’s Top 100 Teacher roundtable, where some of the best instructors in the business answer the game’s most pressing questions. The goal? To help your game and lower your scores ASAP.
Advice in golf is a dime a dozen. No matter if it’s your 15-handicap buddy or a seasoned pro, everyone has takes on how to help you shoot lower scores.
Now, this is a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, you’ll never be without advice. On the other hand, you’ll never know what is actually helpful and what isn’t.
Fortunately for you, dear reader, we here at GOLF have access to some of the brightest minds in the game in form of our Top 100 Teachers. So, we decided to ask a few of them for the best pieces of advice they’ve ever heard.
Check out their answers below.
1. Don’t try to make putts
I once heard Mr. Nicklaus say he never tried to make a putt over six feet — he just tried to roll it at the right speed. This is great advice as better capture speed will result in more putts falling in on the edges. Plus, you’ll three putt much fewer times. —Jason Carbone
2. Always play it down
When I was 16 years old, the PGA Pro I was taking lessons from told me to start playing the ball down all the time instead of implementing winter rules. This helped elevate my ball striking immensely. When you learn to hit the ball well (even from a bad lie) you’ll become a much better ball-striker and player. —Mark Durland
3. Control what you can control
“There’s no excuse for a static mistake.” This means always taking care of variables you can control before you even swing. Your clubs should fit you, they should be clean, you have an extra towel in your bag, etc. If you cut out your “static” mistakes, you’ll be prepared to play great golf. —Tim Cooke
4. Focus on your short game
Spend twice the amount of time you spend on the range having fun and being creative around the greens. This will help you develop a reliable short game with a variety of shot types. —Martin Chuck
