I Used This SIMPLE 5-Game Practice Plan to Get Closer to Breaking 90
Cameron O'Neal presents a comprehensive 5-game practice plan designed for mid-handicap golfers aiming to break 90. The routine emphasizes gamified drills for short putts, lag putting, chipping, wedge proximity, and tee shot accuracy to build confidence and track improvement over time.
Gamify your practice by setting benchmarks (10 tries per game) to simulate on-course pressure.
Use the 'one ball rule' during chipping drills to practice different lies and prevent 'raking' balls from one spot.
Focus on a 30-yard wide window for tee shots to prioritize staying in play and avoiding penalty strokes.
Only 'level up' difficulty (like increasing distance) once you consistently hit 10/10 on your current benchmark.
Short game practice should precede the driving range to ensure you prioritize the shots that lower scores fastest.
