Golf IQ

"How do you break 80?" is one of the most common questions in amateur golf. If you’re consistently shooting in the low 80s, the easiest way to shoot in the 70s probably isn’t making more birdies. It’s avoiding double bogeys, improving your golf course management and making smarter decisions from tee to green. Luke Kerr-Dineen breaks down how to break 80 using golf statistics, shot-pattern data and simple course-management strategies that can help golfers shoot lower scores without changing their golf swing.
