I Tested Golf Sidekick's Breaking 90 Tips on a Real Round

Jacob from That's One! tests Golf Sidekick's top 15 tips for breaking 90 during a real round at Infinitum Spain. He demonstrates how tactical shifts, such as playing every hole as one par higher and avoiding hazards, can dramatically lower scores for high-handicap players.

• Treat every hole as one par higher (e.g., play par 4s as par 5s) to reduce pressure and risk.
• Prioritize hitting a reliable 175-yard club into the fairway over chasing maximum distance with a driver.
• Practice lag putting to stay within a 'dustbin lid' radius, eliminating three-putts.
• Avoid the flagstick and aim for the largest, safest part of the green to stay out of bunkers and hazards.
• Use a mallet putter for easier alignment and more stability on short putts.
