Equipment to lower handicap

[Gapwedge]

I disagree on the GPS comments. I have only used my Skycaddie SG3 in one round so far, and I am completely confident that I would have shot around 75-76 instead of a 72 had I not had it with me.

I have to agree about the use of the SkyCaddie or in my case the Bushnell Pinseeker. Both are approved for USGA play if they don't have slope help, but are only sanctioned if the local course rule sheet states it. I play in some Arkansas State Golf Assoc. sanctioned tournaments and not all courses allow them. I definitely use it during practice rounds.

My other suggestion would be to get properly fitted. Doing that made a huge difference in my game and confidence.

Try upgrading your ball to a ProV1.

Practice putting for an hour a day.

Play on Wednesdays and Sundays or Thursdays and Saturdays.

i agree with Zakko on switching to a Prov1, it will help you be more aggressive from 100 yards and in than an NXT tour

A good idea is to keep a golf log. My wife bought me one. Best golf gift, ever. They're small and you can carry it with you. Use it to keep Score, GIR, PPR and clubs used/yardage. You can then review and practice what went wrong. You'll be better prepared the next time you play that particular course.

The golf log sounds like a wonderful idea. I may have to pick one up.

check out my post on page 2 - those are the stats you want to pay attention to for your log

Thanks for all the advice. I've only been a member of this forum for a short time, and I am surprised at all the help to a somewhat standard question for all golfers.
