“Breaking 80 is SO EASY”… I used to hate when people told me that! Until I discovered that there’s some truth behind it.
I discovered that playing ‘SAFE’ and ‘BORING’ Golf gives us average Golfers the best chance at a lower score. Join me as I discuss my course management, picking my way around the course whilst trying to stay away from danger.
This isn’t the best golf in the world, but for 75% of you, this video might give you inspiration to shoot lower scores and FINALLY Break 80!

How to break 80. Step one, play a par 68 course 😂. I play off 5 but this was entertaining to watch. It’s nice to hear someone else’s course management. Good content thanks.

Haha. Thought the same thing on the par 68. But this is a great example of how to keep doubles off your scorecard. Thanks Sam

After a long break from golf iam back at it now 50 and not as supple as i was i forgot how hard and frustrating it is i try to just give myself 5 shots per hole. Course management is key 👍

Hey Sam, I love the short video clips interspersed throughout. They were really well chosen and such an hilarious contrast with the serious nature of your commentary. I thought you hit some great shots, too, especially when putting. Great video, keep up the good work!

I discovered your golf channel through golf sidekick, you’re right it is pretty boring golf but you’re putting game is really spot on and it’s all about controlling the damage with that club. Love thecontent. I’m a 10.7 index and really working hard on getting to a single in the 24 season. Thanks for the great video. Cheers from Canada

Sorry mate I’m not familiar with this why do you bring your own mat for some shot?

@mikewalker1885 3 ай бұрын

Young lads with motorised trolleys, tour bags and a full set.....in winter 😂 Get a pencil bag, half set and carry, invent knockdown shots and at least look like a proper golfer not an OAP.

I have to shoot 7 over to break 80 😢 only managed to do it once at 76 4 over.

Love that! Yeah my range at the moment is +4 to +12… really need to start focusing on sitting around that +6 to +8 mark

9 handicappers do not break 80 with average rounds. It takes their A-game.

80 , is my all time best ,, 79 is coming one Day ,,

@ParawayGolf 27 күн бұрын

Facts. I got my handicap to a 7 last year and more than half my rounds were 80+

💯. My best is 73 but I played like I was Rory. Usually I’m in the low 80s and sometimes the high 70s

I never heard of hitting approach shots off a mat. Is that required where you play?

@SamKingGolf 3 ай бұрын

Hey man. We have to use fairway mats at most courses in Scotland during the winter to protect the fairways (the grass won’t grow until warmer weather).

Appreciate it! Keep them off the card! 🤣

@jamesbaine580 3 ай бұрын

You need to have a fundamentally sound swing to even think about breaking 80. If you can't hit a golf ball confidently to any spot it's gonna be hard

@SamKingGolf 3 ай бұрын

Of course! But the choices we make on the course will definitely help.

@IIISWILIII Ай бұрын

Agreed. Flawless course management won't save you if you still hit shots that wildly get away from you. All it takes is 2 or 3 of those to sink your chances for a sub 80 score

@catgolfer1 3 ай бұрын

You draw or hit a straight shot with your irons but fade your driver. Hmm. With the driver imagine you have an iron in your hands.😺

I had a week where I was hitting a high draw with my driver and I have no idea why 🤣

And what is your handicap?

@SamKingGolf 3 ай бұрын

Says at the top! I’m off 9 at the moment.

@matthewjames4268 17 күн бұрын

Im trying to break 90 again after only doing it once. Shot 92 the other day. My driving is good. Mid irons need alot of work, often my tempo goes way off and I skull or hit fat. 100 yards is good. Chipping and putting is a complete gamble. I'd love to get to 85 this summer.

How about “minimum two putt for bogey” mentality and believe you can make some of those putts?

@SamKingGolf 3 ай бұрын

It’s more of a mentality of lagging it in there, if I make it then great… if I miss then it’s not the end of the world. I get what you’re saying though! I’m usually more aggressive when I’m playing well.

@GeoGolfer 3 ай бұрын

Below 80 on a par 68 is of course alot easier than a a par 72. At +11 that would be 83. That said, you didn't make any putts so I'm pretty sure you left a few shots out there based on what I see of your game. Otherwise though you are right, course management has a huge impact on score. It does take discipline not to go for the hero shot or try to go for the pin when it seems so inviting and you can ''see'' the birdie if the shot pans out. Easier said than done!

@SamKingGolf 3 ай бұрын

100%… that front 9 wasn’t great but the game plan meant that I was still able to put a decent score together due to no doubles/triples on the card!
