You are counting your score wrong golfers. #golftips
PGA Professional Mark Crossfield explains why many amateur golfers miscalculate their score and set unrealistic expectations on the course. By learning how to count your score relative to your net handicap, you can eliminate unnecessary pressure and make smarter course management decisions. Apply this strategic perspective to lower your scores and play more consistent golf.
Score your round based on your net par for each hole according to your handicap rather than gross par.
Avoid forcing risky shots to save gross par when playing holes where you receive extra strokes.
Manage your expectations hole-by-hole to prevent a single bad hole from ruining your mental approach.
Use proper score counting to build a realistic tactical plan for every round.
