GOLF CALIBRATION IS KEY

Calibration is the key achievment a young competitive golfer must attain to move into the level of top flight short game skills.  Calibration is the key to effectively become a factor in tournament play.  There is calibration in putting, and calibration in short game skills.  In the next few weeks, I will lay out the steps and practice routines needed to achieve putting and short game calibration.  But the fundamental knowledge skill is calibration.  The pros know that for sure.  Amateurs, even very good college golfers, or others with low digit handicaps often have no clue what calibration is.

Without calibration, the competitive golfer will not be able to push his or her golf game to a consistent level of scoring.  With calibration understood, embraced and incorporated into one's golf game, a golfer's competitive scoring ability can be continualy boosted to move to an elite level of tournament play, whether that be at the local level, the state level or the national amateur level of tournament play. 

Young high school golfers who want to play scholarship golf at a college or university must understand calibration to succeed.  College golfers who want to be the best golfer they can be cannot short cut the process of calibration to move into the elite ranks.

Next week, I will explain what the difference is between short game "feel" and "calibration".
