Static handicap

[drawboy]

I'm experiencing static handicap syndrome at the moment. I do everything averagely. Putting ,chipping,driving, the lot is all average good enough to comfortably play off my 15 handicap. I only play once a week due to family/work commitments and whilst I can get out to practice I never seem to see the benefit of just bashing balls. I played with the pro recently and asked him if it was worth a few lessons, he said not really everything is ok you just need to play more. How can I get the kick start I need to get to say..13 by the end of the year?

Practice your short game

Short game and putting is where the scoring gets done. Clearly by your handicap you don't have a problem keeping it in play (most of the time) and so if you can start getting down more often from around the green and make a few longer putts for birdie or to save par then you'll notice the scores drop quite quickly

Oh to have a static handicap. The answer is playing more often. I've not been able to play much in the way of casual/bounce game golf this year and have really suffered.

Getting the ball off the tee okay at the moment though
