PRACTICE BETTER:
If you're playing golf regularly and you want to improve your game, you should be utilizing technology. In this video I used my shots gained statistic (I use the golfmetrics app to track mine) to better focus my practice. For me specifically it is approach shots between 125-165 yards that I need to improve. Using another piece of technology, TrackMan 4, I use a program that spits out random yardages between that spread. TrackMan offers a point system relative to other handicaps to help better understand the data. It isn't necessary to need TrackMan to get this kind of practice in, you can use random number generators online to give you spreads if you are using a different simulator.
SHOTS GAINED:
Shots gained is a statistic discovered by Mark Broadie to help track how much a good shot is worth and how much a bad shot costs you. Say for instance you hit a 300 yard drive right down the middle of the fairway. For your handicap level that shot may have gained you .3 shots on the field, if you were able to do that 14 more times in the course of the round you on average have gained (14 times .3) 4.2 shots during that round. Conversely, if you were to hit poor shots, you may lose shots to the field. Which you can also track based on how the field average performs in a given situation.

ABOUT ME:
You’re here because golf is hard. I’m here because I managed to figure out how to play it well. And as the wise folks say, once you know, pass it on.
For the past 20 years, on any given day, it would have been a fair bet that I was at a golf course. On the range. On the course. Competing in tournies. Anywhere that had a tee, range, or pin. It’s my home away from home. All that club swinging landed me a win in The Evansville Men’s City Championship before I could even vote. I played 4 years at Indiana University on teams ranked in the top 10 nationally, and I competed in the U.S. Open once (plan to do that again).
I won’t say I’m the best, but I’ve been around the best. Literally the GOAT. Tiger’s locker was next to mine at the Open (I got in as an alternate and somehow that happened).
Besides hitting buckets of balls until my hands bled, I also had expert instruction along the way. Did I mention I kept notes? I still have them, and you should too. Let me help you write lower numbers on your scorecard.
