How to Play Lazy Low Effort Golf and Beat Everyone
Golf Sidekick explains the 'Old Man Golf' (OMG) strategy, focusing on low-effort efficiency and smart decision-making. By eliminating hero shots, utilizing the Texas wedge, and keeping the ball low to the ground, golfers can lower their scores while exerting less physical strain.
Prioritize low-trajectory shots over high-lofted wedges to increase consistency and minimize 'big misses'.
Divide long holes into manageable segments (e.g., three 150-yard shots on a par 5) rather than swinging for maximum distance.
Eliminate 'hero shots' from your vocabulary; if you can't clear a tree or bunker comfortably, play away from it.
Master the 'Texas Wedge' by putting from off the green to take the 'duff' out of play on tight lies.
Use the 'Rule of 12' for chipping to systematically predict how far a ball will roll after landing on the green.
