These GOLF TIPS will lower YOUR SCORE! Break 85 NOW!

[@thecrooner4jc]

I'm always trying to break 100. I appreciate your focus on lag putting and avoiding possible penalty situations on the tee. Payne Stewart always said "the first thing I think about on the tee is where I want the ball to go. The second thing is where I DON'T want it to go."

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@BhutJolokias]

I really like your teaching style. I'm 63 now. 35 years ago I shot 76 at one of the local courses. 25 years ago an old football injury on my right knee started getting to me, my scores declined. 18 months ago I had a total knee replacement. Now I'm on a quest to reclaim shooting in the 70's. I may not get there, but your enthusiasm will help me try. Thanks!

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you so much! I'm pulling for you!

[@filledfield1084]

I saw your first video a few years ago (winter, dark, 36F, 31 likes) and for some reason it stayed with me, but then you disappeared from my YT algorithm. Anyway, you suddenly reappeared last night and i checked out the original post again. I still like it! I also heard you talking on the New Year unedited post about all the haters and trolls. There are some sad and stupid people out there, but that comes with success - you are now getting hundreds of likes, so more power to you and keep going my friend. I've now subscribed, so i won't lose you again! Have a good 2025.

I'm starting this season trying to breaking 85. I started the 2024 season trying to break 100, and ended it with several 89's.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Awesome job!!

[@jacobseymour7221]

I shot an 89 once. It's still my lowest score. I say if you're at 89, breaking 85 is right around the corner.

[@tomwolf125]

That was some incredible lag putting. Something I definitely need to focus on. Great video MSH!

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@Cats3141]

Thanks so much, as I am trying to get to the point of regularly breaking 85. I play on a challenging course, slope 127. I have broken 85 several times, but it is not expected. Once, I was frustrated with my bad shots, especially off the tee, so I went to play with only a 6 iron, pitching wedge and putter, and scored 84. One huge difference I notice between my game and yours is that I have too much side to side dispersion in my mid irons, which is killing my GIR. I have to admit that my practice on the driving range is not helping me too much, probably because they are not well designed practice sessions.

[@mistahshorthitter]

I would focus on missing the greens on the correct side and short game. If you are driving it in play that should get you breaking 85 consistently.

[@daveeklund6277]

Good tips MSH-thank you! I think of my game and course while watching and I know you have helped me with course management. That is an area I have needed help with…looking forward to this season.

[@mistahshorthitter]

You got this!

[@lorenzoalston7975]

I love your content and presentation. 2025 I’m going to have to putt better. But I’m also at that age (68) where I’m struggling to admit that I’ve lost some club head speed and distance. I’ve never been a big hitter but now carry my driver 250, and my 7 iron avg around 140. Looking forward to more videos from you.

[@mistahshorthitter]

[@brianstevens5363]

Thank you for great tips. You make a great point about using the driver unless there is a penalty area in play, so to speak. I have noticed two things about your swing that I have noticed with good golfers, you have a trigger mechanism to start your swing, and you have a really good balanced finish. Thanks again for your videos....

[@mistahshorthitter]

[@arnoldlunsford9872]

Great advice. In addition your punch shot video can reduce those "blow up" holes. On most of the courses here the woods (completely untouched) are the course's defense. Thanks MSH. "Hit'em straight"

[@Golfnut_2099]

One of the most frustrating thing is shooting 85, but having three OB shots during the round. That is 6 wasted shots.

[@Klehocky1]

Awesome advice. Especially cool because it is a course I’m familiar with.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you for watching!

[@Golfnut_2099]

Lots of great course management thoughts here!!!!! A few videos back, you were saying how far you hit your clubs. The Driver was 212 yards (or something like that). I commented about being surprised that was as far as you hit the driver. I thought it should have been further, somewhere in the 235 to 250 range. I think I misunderstood the distances. Those must have been CARRY distances, because you hit the driver much further here. Again, great video!!!!!

[@rulinghabs]

All I had to see was your iron shots and the divots you take to know you know what you are doing. Your low point was always a few inches past the ball. Even when you missed and acknowledged it was a bad shot, it was still decent. As well your lag putting is spot on. If you mind me asking, what clubs and woods do you use?

Thanks MSH. Some good tips.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you!

[@MJMoore-0313]

Ironically I just had a conversation with a golf buddy that after chasing distance a year ago, I ran my average score up about 7-8 strokes. I had gotten down to breaking 85 consistently, then started shooting 90+ over & over trying to hit driver longer off the tee. The number one cause was due to penalties, mostly off the tee. But I got back to the basics a few months ago and I’m focused on conservative tee shots to avoid penalties, really practicing approach shots inside 175yds, refocusing on my best skill and that’s chipping around the green, and realizing that being good at lag putting is the best way to avoid 3 putts. Last round I played, shot 81 with no penalties, 2 chip ins, and had an abnormal round with 3 birdies; but I did have 1 double bogey.

MSH another great video and some of the best content on YT! I have 2 questions if you have time to answer, what are the typical tee boxes do you play? What’s the preferred total yards for you. How long have you been putting left hand low and did it make a difference? Thank you from cold and snowy Buffalo!

[@mistahshorthitter]

I typically play from around 6600 yards when playing an unfamiliar course. This is the video from October 2023 when I switched to left hand low. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5DKdXWhbbN6nsk I feel like I putt better now. Thank you!

[@Fingabang]

I am a 54 year old disability pensioner who broke his neck twice and back once. C and L spine fused.. I'm a short hitter but can break 70 off the blues. On a public course its just about keeping the ball in play and having a great short game.. Most of us cant swing like pro's but we can chip, putt and pitch like one.. I have missed every green and shot par before so it proves the importance of short game over long is king. Whatever length you have work on straightening it up and keeping it in play. Get up and down at least 50% and you will break 85 easy as.

[@kellycoates5027]

Tour average from 100 yds out is 17 feet. If we as amateur golfers are on the green anywhere we should be really happy. The best thing we can do to improve our score is to really work on our lag putting. Short game is the number one part of our game we should practice the most. I've got my handicap down to 7 this year by working on chipping and putting. Good luck.

[@mistahshorthitter]

Thank you, Kelly! I think inside 30 feet is a good goal for amateurs to strike for from 100 yards. I appreciate you!

[@kellycoates5027]

@mistahshorthitter that's the number that I try to strive for, anything inside of 30 feet and Im really happy.

[@mhub3576]

This is timely, as I broke 90 last summer for the first time maybe ever. Broke it a handful of times. Eliminating penalty strokes, and 3-putts, are definitely a huge part of it. Goal for this year is to shoot 85 or below. Best score last year was 87, on a fairly challenging course.

[@mistahshorthitter]

That is awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@Golfnut_2099]

Also, work on your chipping. Learn to get up and down. Chip and a putt is just like a two putt from a green in regulation. That was my game when I played. Tee shot into the rough as often as hitting the fairway. Second shot close to the green as often as on the green. Chip and a Putt. (Assuming a par 4...)

Lag putting is the most underappreciated skill in golf yet one of the most important to learn. If you can lag putt well then breaking 90 becomes easy and breaking 85 a much easier proposition.

[@07davymac]

@mistahshorthitter To be honest,I was expecting you to hit a driver in the region of 190/200 yards which I would consider quite a good distance for a short hitter. When I saw the first hole was 360 yards and you had 120 to the green I have to say I was astonished. I could probably hit that far but only when everything was in my favour and aligned in sync. I suppose it come down to a subjective view as to what a short/long hitter is and from how far the person in question can hit the ball.

[@mistahshorthitter]

@07davymac I'm comparing myself to my competition. Im always by far the shortest in my tournaments. Often, in my mid am and state qualifiers, I'm out driven by 80-100 yards or more. It's also a fun name. Im making fun of myself and no one else. I hope you give the channel a chance. There is a lot of content on the way.
