In golf, there is an interesting difference between match play and stroke play. In stroke play, every shot counts, but in match play, there is much more of a level playing field. Unlike stroke play, you don’t have to wait a few holes before you start attacking pins.

Most golfers will practise their putting skills, working on pace control and checking their strike and start line. When you first started to play, you may remember certain practise drills, such as the Path Drill to help you develop a consistent path.

When it comes to golf, your psychology is directly linked to your performance. In fact, you can learn to use the pressure to take your performance to a whole new level. Whatever your handicap, make it count by learning how to perform under pressure.

Every golfer’s aim is to improve their game with consistent low scores. But perfecting your game on the golf course is not always about practising your swing.
