How a +6 HANDICAP shoots under par EVERYTIME! **STRESS FREE GOLF**
PGA-certified instructor Josh Oddy demonstrates how a +6 handicap utilizes 'Stress-Free Golf' to shoot under par. He introduces the 'FDP' mental framework—Focus, Discipline, and Patience—while breaking down specific course management decisions at Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club. The video covers everything from technical warm-up drills using training aids to navigating firm UK summer conditions.
Implement the FDP method: Focus on each shot, remain Disciplined to targets, and stay Patient for birdies to arrive.
Develop a reliable 'fairway finder' shot—like a low-lofted iron or choked-down driver—to use under pressure.
When greens are fast and firm, prioritize landing numbers over pin-seeking to allow for significant roll-out.
Use a line on your golf ball for putting to improve alignment and confidence on putts inside 6 feet.
Warm up with intent by focusing on technical maintenance drills (like connection work) rather than just hitting balls.
