Retired at 35… and Took 18 Shots Off My Handicap in 6 Months!
Wills Golf Tour details the five-step strategy used to drop 18 handicap strokes in just six months after retiring at 35. The video highlights technical improvements like low point control using the Blue Masking Tape drill, alongside critical course management shifts like removing the driver to break 100. Wills emphasizes the importance of professional coaching and high-volume practice over fragmented YouTube tips.
Limit your bag to mid-to-short irons (e.g., 7-iron and below) to eliminate high-risk blowup holes when trying to break 100.
Prioritize low point control by ensuring your club strikes the turf after the ball to eliminate fat and thin shots.
Banish 'YouTube swing tip' overload; find one qualified coach and stick to a consistent long-term plan.
Practice high-repetition drills daily, such as the 10-rep masking tape challenge, before starting a full practice session.
Incorporate social golf into your routine to increase enjoyment and reduce the performance anxiety associated with solo play.
