What if you could shoot lower golf scores, hit more greens and cut your handicap — without changing your golf swing? Dave tried Will Robins’ Scoring Method. And the results might surprise you.
After the incredible reaction to Part 1, Will Robins is back on How Low Can You Go? for the second half of a conversation that could fundamentally change the way you play golf.
Will is an award-winning PGA golf coach and creator of The Scoring Method, a revolutionary approach to golf improvement that focuses on one thing above everything else: shooting lower scores with the golf game you already have.
And in Part 2, things get seriously practical.
Why do golfers keep making doubles and triples when they could be making bogeys? Why do we obsess over improving our golf swings instead of learning how to score? And could smarter course management, better club selection and playing to your actual ability be the quickest route to breaking 90, breaking 80 or reaching scratch?
Will challenges Dave and Chris to rethink almost everything about how they approach the golf course.
In this episode, we explore:
- The Four Gears of Golf — how to choose the right shots for your ability, manage risk and avoid unnecessary mistakes.
- Confidence versus competence — why positive thinking isn’t enough, and how testing your skills can transform your performance under pressure.
- Play to your handicap — Will’s brilliant approach to tackling difficult holes and taking the pressure off your scorecard.
- Stop making doubles and triples — why eliminating disastrous holes can dramatically lower your golf scores.
- Better club selection and approach shots — why taking more club, aiming away from trouble and understanding your distances could help you hit more greens.
- Train hard, play easy — how to practise with purpose, build genuine golfing skills and take them onto the course.
- The truth about your short game — why so many golfers overestimate their ability inside 100 yards, and how to identify where shots are really being lost.
- Better golf without changing your swing — why smarter decisions and better scoring skills can deliver results that swing improvements alone might not.
- The mental game of golf — managing expectations, reducing tension and learning to enjoy your golf even when you’re desperate to shoot a good score.
And there’s a very special update from Dave.
After recording with Will, Dave and Chris were generously given full access to The Scoring Method.
Dave wasted no time putting it into practice.
And after a couple of rounds getting to grips with the system, something rather exciting happened.
Ten greens in regulation in consecutive rounds. A round of 81. And a handicap cut from 13.6 to 13.1.
Could this finally be the breakthrough that gets Dave under 80?
Whether you’re a high-handicap golfer trying to break 100, a mid-handicapper desperate to break 90 or 80, or a low-handicapper chasing scratch, Will’s advice offers a completely different way to think about golf improvement.
Because golf isn’t about how good your swing looks. It’s about how many shots it takes to get the ball in the hole.
