A practice plan for breaking 100

Developing golfer

Reduce penalties, improve predictable carry and simplify recoveries.

Use two focused sessions each week plus a short on-course or putting test when practical. A 15-minute version can use the first task only; a 30- or 60-minute session can add target changes and a scored finish. Allow recovery and adapt volume to comfort.

Week 1: Measure your bag

Record five representative carries for each frequently used club. Identify large overlaps or gaps.

Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.

Week 2: Protect the tee shot

Use a target corridor and compare two suitable tee clubs. Keep the normal miss in your decision.

Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.

Week 3: Own the first recovery

Practice a bump-and-run and a basic bunker escape. Score whether each reaches a manageable position.

Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.

Week 4: Play with a plan

Use a written target plan for three problem holes. Review penalties and avoidable second recoveries.

Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.

Measure your progress

Compare penalty strokes and recovery outcomes over several similar rounds. Keep nine- and eighteen-hole scores separate.

Lessons for this program

Avoid this mistake

Do not add several new technical changes after a poor session. Compare similar tasks, note conditions and keep the next goal small. If the movement is uncomfortable or progress stalls, a qualified coach can help adapt the plan.

These programs set practice priorities. They do not guarantee a score or a timetable for improvement.
