Default Re: The 3 progressions: breaking 100, breaking 90, breaking 80

One key to lower scores is know where your misses are likely to end up.

Having strong tendencies, recognizing them, and doing something about them will have a very positive effect on your score.

That, and short game, of course.

Short game struggles I see with many golfers:

Putting- horrible, horrible, speed control.

Chipping- mishitting chips due to trying to scoop the ball in the air.
A player's chipping will always poor if the club is on the upswing at the ball.

Using your #'s of
Breaking 100- 95% of players that don't break 100 "scoop" chips.
Breaking 90- 75% of players with this goal "scoop".
Breaking 80- Half of golfers with this goal still scoop, at least half th time.
