» Scorecard rules require that you and your marker verify that the hole-by-hole scores are accurate and sign the card, and return it promptly after the round. Signing for a lower score on a hole results in disqualification, while signing for a higher score means the higher score stands. Before signing, ensure the score for each individual hole is correct. The card must be signed by both you and your marker to be valid.

» A good drill for developing the feel for distance is to putt a ball 30 feet. Then putt the next one 29 feet. Then 28 feet, and so on. An average golfer misses short putts because of fear or a lack of concentration. Instead of just stroking the putt into the hole, he or she is thinking about any number of things -- including other players who are watching for the result. Don't guide short putts into the hole, the right way is to approach a short putt from behind and line it up. If you decide it breaks two inches left of the cup, then that's where you want to strike it -- not jerk it into the hole.

The next downward plunge would be to the middle 70's. Once you play 75 regularly you are not an average golfer but will be seen as pretty good.

» I often wonder to myself how many golfers' dreadful attires, taste and style seem to go out of the window, especially with those who seem to be experiencing a midlife crisis and those younger are not much better, copying Tiger Woods with outfits more appropriate for a racing driver than a golfer.
