After playing tons of rounds with so many people, I noticed what the good golfers do that others don't.

Buying equipment seems to be the most popular because it's probably the easiest and the laziest method. New equipment is nice, but it's expensive and it may not be the most effective!

The more educated believe that having a great swing is key to a low score. They usually laugh at the people that buy equipment, but these golfers spend money on lessons, practicing, practicing and practicing.

Did you know that the pros can take your long game, combine it with their short game and still shoot in the 80s? Everyone knows that the short game is where it's at but if you are one of those people that practice, you better be really committed because it is going to take a LONG time.

There some ways that are more easier.

1. Glove - Changing your gloves as much as you can afford to is essential for a good game. Once it starts slipping, then bye bye good ball striking.

2. Spikes - Once you get new spikes, you will see that it is a no-brainer because you no longer slip and lose your balance when you swing. This is especially important during the course where you are on uneven lies!

3. Tees - Keep your tee height the same might be the most important part of your tee shot. Especially on iron shots where the clubs aren't as forgiving, hitting at the same spot is much more crucial for ultimate accuracy.

4. Hydration - I never used to drink and would only play a good few holes before I tail off. Now I drink 2-3 bottles of water a round and I play great all 18 holes!

5. Warm up - Try to Warm up if you don't want to spend the first few holes figuring out whether you are slicing or hooking. It is also much healthier for your back.

6. Eat Light - Heavy eating is a no-no on the course. You end up losing focus after a big meal so it's hard to pick and execute the right shots. Eating something light is great for your score.
