The Scoring Method explains a mental strategy to lower golf scores by treating every approach shot inside 100 yards as a new Par 3. By compartmentalizing the hole into 'entering the scoring zone' and 'getting down,' golfers can reduce performance pressure and avoid compounding mistakes. This technique is designed to help players more consistently break 85 and eliminate high numbers from their scorecards.
Treat every shot inside 100 yards as the start of a new Par 3 hole.
Divide your strategy into two phases: reaching the scoring zone and finishing the hole.
Shift your focus away from your total score once you are within 100 yards to reduce mental pressure.
Aim to get 'down' in 3 strokes or fewer from the scoring zone to maintain a scorecard under 85.
This mental reset helps stop compounding errors that lead to triple bogeys and higher.
