Golf Handicap Improvement: The Complete Practice System

Your handicap isn't fixed. It's a measurement of your last 20 rounds. Change your practice, and your handicap follows.

The Handicap Improvement Equation

Handicap = (Putting + Short Game + Course Management + Full Swing Consistency)

Most golfers focus on the last element. Tour players focus on the first three.
