How I Play ONE Handicap Golf (despite my bad swing)
Golf Sidekick demonstrates how to maintain a one-handicap through superior course management and mental discipline rather than a perfect swing. Matt emphasizes the importance of 'go-to shots' to start a round, avoiding difficult yardage gaps, and utilizing high-percentage techniques like the toe-down chip.
Lean on 'go-to' shots (like a bunt fade) during the first 4-6 holes to build confidence and avoid early bogeys.
Prioritize position over distance; a fairway is often worth 50 yards of extra distance in the rough.
Avoid 'no man's land' (40-80 yard shots) if your wedge tempo isn't dialed in; play for full shots instead.
Use a toe-down chipping technique with a putting stroke to increase consistency around the greens.
Eliminate 'hero shots' from your vocabulary and accept bails-outs provided by course architecture.
