Ok, so your junior golfer has been playing golf for a few years,
and is finally getting the hang of it. One problem, he or she has a
scoring problem. No matter how much they play or practice, they just
can't get under 90. It's tough to break playing boggie golf. It can be
very frustrating for the player. Junior golf scoring is really the next
part of the game. How can you finally break the barrier? What's the
trick? Play more rounds? Practice more on the range? Help! what is the
answer?
The answer is very simple: the short game. Focus on the shots from 120 yards and in. If I could recommend anything, I would recommend taking out those wedges and over- using them at the practice facility. You will pick-up more strokes on your round, the better you become with your short game. Here's some suggestions on how to practice:
1. At the range: get a small bucket of balls and go to the practice chipping area. Find a facility that has two flags. Start 20 feet out. Hit each ball to the flag. Rotate each shot to the different flag. Move back 20 feet each time you finish the bucket. Go all the way back to 100 feet or so. This is obviously a really simple drill... but it is very effective.
2. Go buy a hoola hoop. You heard me... a hoola hoop. Place the hoola hoop around the pin. that is now your target. The goal is to hit each chip shot in to the hoola hoop.
3. When you play a practice round, keep 3-4 extra balls in your pocket. Each time you approach the green, throw out the balls and practice your chip shots. Nothing like hitting extra balls on the course.
4. Find a par 3 golf course. Play the course over and over and over.
5. Play a game a game. See how many shots in a row you can hit on the green. Make it a contest.
In closing, nothing will improve your junior golf scoring better than working on your chip shots. I would suggest spending at least 80% of every practice round on shots 120 yards an in. I would also look at carrying at least three wedge clubs in your bag.
