For intermediate golfers: How to use your time more efficiently and practice more

The intermediate level is the most enjoyable time to play golf. I personally think that depending on how you improve your skills from here, your golf existence will change very much.

That’s why I decided to write this article to explain recommended practice methods for intermediate players.

But before I explain how to practice for intermediate golfers, I want to point out that amateur golfers are often divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced, but there doesn’t seem to be a standard for this, does there?

So, for the purposes of this article, the definition of an intermediate golfer is as follows:

A person who can occasionally break 90.

Those whose average score is about 95.

In this article, I will explain how to practice so that golfers at these levels can further improve their skills and scores.

Diagnosis of intermediate golfers/people who are intermediate golfers

If you are an intermediate golfer, please check the following list to see if you are an intermediate golfer. If there are many checks, you are an intermediate golfer. (*This is based on my own judgment and prejudice, so please take it easy)

I can hit a driver about 220 to 230 yards with good directionality, but sometimes it bends and I hit OB.

I’m not so good with fairway woods.

I can hit irons reasonably well, but when I miss an iron, I end up hitting a downfall or a birdie (especially on short holes).

I am not good at bunkers.

My score is affected by the type of course, and there is a big difference between good times and bad times.

I putt an average of 36 putts, but sometimes I hit more than 40 putts.

2. 3 Practice Methods that Intermediate Golfers Should Concentrate on

I’m going to share with you my recommendations on how intermediate golfers can practice to move up to the next level.

If you’ve been playing golf for a while, you’ve probably heard that you’re not very good at bunkers, rough, or fairway woods.

It’s a good idea to practice overcoming your weaknesses in these situations and clubs!

If you are not good at bunkers

For example, if you are not good at bunkers, you need to go to a lot of driving ranges and courses that have bunker practice areas. For example, if you are not good at bunkers, you need to go to a lot of driving ranges and courses with bunker practice areas.

If you are not good at bunkers, you need to go to a lot of driving ranges or courses with bunker practice areas.

If you are an intermediate player, you are probably aware that you have clubs that you are good at. This is your strong point, and if you can develop it, it will definitely be very effective.

Concentrate on the clubs that you like and that you are confident with.

If there is an area that you are good at, such as the approach or the putter, you should practice it so that you can become more confident.

If you are not in good shape, you can make up your score by playing golf with these strengths.

Never hit more than 36 putts with a 3-dimensional putter.

This is a common problem among intermediate golfers who lack consistency in their putting.

If you want to be a good golfer, you need to be a good golfer. Forty percent of my score is based on putts, so it’s difficult to consistently break 90. I’d like to spend as much time as possible practicing my putter, and at the very least, I’d like to keep it within 36 putts per round.

3. The next goal for intermediate golfers is to achieve an average score of 85

Management skills for intermediate golfers to further improve their scores ⇒ I suggest that you aim for an average score of 85, consistently below 90.

When it comes to an average score of 85, course management skills become very important.

Therefore, I have compiled a list of things to keep in mind when you are out on the actual course. Please try to remember them when you play a round.

Analyze the hazard situation calmly and recommend using a larger club.

If there is a large bunker or pond in front of the green, it is essential to use a larger club even if the pin is in front of you.

If you are an intermediate golfer, you probably don’t think about your best shot when choosing your clubs, but if you are aiming for the green with a short iron, you may want to aim dead for the pin in order to make par or even birdie.

This is the time when you may get overwhelmed and end up chopping the ball.

It is not uncommon to end up in a bunker or in the rough, and unexpectedly end up with a downfall or even a birdie.

In the event that you have a problem with your golf swing, you can always ask for help.

If you want to be able to hit the ball out of the green, you need to be able to hit the ball out of the green. It is also important to consider the course type and distance when choosing a club.

For example, if there is a 300-yard par 4 course, an intermediate golfer will be able to hit the driver 220 to 230 yards, leaving a halfway distance of about 70 yards, which is difficult for even an intermediate golfer to hit to the pin.

In the event that you do not have the ability to hit the ball to the pin, it is best to hit the tee shot with a 5W or UT and leave a distance of 100 to 120 yards for a full shot.

It is important to make bold choices every now and then to gain experience.

It is important to take a chance and aim for the right shot. For example, if there is a pond in front of the green and you have 200 yards to go, it is important to manage the pond to avoid serious injury in order to put together a good score, but sometimes it is also necessary to aim boldly in order to improve your skills.

It is also necessary to accumulate successful experiences by boldly taking on challenges in order to further improve your golf game. This is a piece of advice I was given by a senior single golfer that really resonated with me.

In order to get to the level of below 80 in the future, you have to take on these challenges.

Even if you fail, the frustration you feel will be put to good use in your next practice and rounds, and you will gain good experience! If you are convinced of this, I really recommend you to play a challenge. Even if the result is not good, it makes you feel stronger. I feel that my conclusion play will become more stable because my spirit will become more and more sober.

Conclusion

How did I explain the practice and course management for intermediate level players to further improve their scores?

The intermediate level is the most fun time to play golf. There are many people whose progress stops here. It takes a lot of practice, rounds, and experience to become an advanced golfer and the single golfer you’ve always wanted to be, but when you do, you’ll be the golfer everyone around you wants to be.
