Cheers,
Half the reason I dont lose that many balls is by trying to get my score down to an acceptable level ive slowed my swing down and trying to keep the ball in play as much as i can. Basically sacrificing distance to try and get more accurate...although im only 28 years old i'm watching the old boys at my course who dont hit it further than 180 off the tee but still finish with great scores
If i can cut out the blow out holes and stupid duffs/fats id be under 100 in no problem. Heading out tonight so will see how i get on!
It isn't bad starting point. A lot of the old boys have a very good short game from 80 yards out and putt well so that could well be an area to focus on to improve. A goo short game will definitely help improve scores. If you are going to do this (and I would suggest subject to budget also continue to get lessons on the longer game) then perhaps a ball that feels soft off the putter and wedges (e.g. Srixon soft feel) may be a way forward
