Break 100: 5 Tips to Lower Your Scores

MAMG_CREATORSCUP-1140784.png
Breaking 100 may seem a distant dream no matter how close you get to the landmark barrier. Before we give you 5 tips on helping you do this, revisit the opening statement and how the language we use is a big problem. Landmark, barrier, and so many more words make shooting a score that is less than 100 seem so out of reach. Your mindset is crucial when it comes to improving your scores. Let’s get ready to Break 100!

1. Don’t add up your score until the end

Do you add up your scores as you are playing? Do you know exactly what your score is at any given point during the game? Have you had 3 holes left and you know exactly what score you need to break 100? This is a really bad idea – imagine you had a caddy and he told you that all you need on the last hole is a bogey to break 100! This puts undue pressure on you.
By focusing on the outcome, you won’t be able to focus on one shot at a time. So, next time you play, tell your playing partners not to tell you your score until you’ve finished. Make sure you only put the hole totals down and then work out your score at the end. 

2. Allow for your bend

Changing your technique on the golf course is extremely difficult and a lot of times unnecessary. Of course, if you have a big slice, you’ll want to get rid of it. However, if you have a big fade and an occasional slice, then you could just simply allow for it. It’s okay to fade the ball – remember, ‘fades are fine, slices are sinister.’ So long as you’re not slicing every shot, then a fade/big fade will be repeatable and allow you to hit more fairways than trying to change your technique whilst playing. Leave the technique changes to the practice area. 

3. Stick to your finish

Striking your irons well is a crucial part of creating consistency on the golf course. Just think – 1cm out on your strike can result in you missing the green which in turn puts your short game under pressure. Sticking to your finish and focusing on a well-balanced finish position, you will increase your chances of striking the ball well and create a lot more consistency with your accuracy and distance control.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...
