MY GOLF BLUEPRINT
A practice plan for breaking 90
Intermediate golfer
Improve approach decisions and reduce costly misses around greens.
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: Approach dispersion
Record a ten-shot pattern with a common approach club. Use it to choose safer targets.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 2: Wedge control
Build three measured wedge carries and test them in random order.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 3: Putting under a routine
Play nine one-ball putting holes from varied distances and putt out.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 4: Transfer to the course
Track whether misses finish on the safer side of the green and how often a recovery creates a short putt.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Measure your progress
Review approach dispersion, penalties and three-putts together. A lower score can come from better decisions as well as better strikes.
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.
