The more golf you play, the lower your scores should be, right? That would be nice! It’s typical for golf scores to fluctuate, but when scores start consistently trending in the wrong direction, it’s frustrating, especially when you aren’t sure exactly what’s off. I’m experiencing something similar. I know I’m a better golfer than I was two years ago, and my scores were consistently going down for a while, but now they’ve plateaued.
Sometimes it’s hard for me to tell what’s holding me back, and other times it’s blatantly obvious (like an abundance of 3 putts or a bad case of nerves). I spoke to two teaching professionals, who gave me advice on how to break through this golf scoring slump and prevent my scores from starting to creep up – and most of it involves stepping off the course and getting a different perspective on how I’m approaching each round.
