What if the secret to shooting lower golf scores isn’t improving your swing — but completely changing the way you play golf?
Golf is a scoring game. So why do so many of us spend hours working on our swings, only to see the same disappointing numbers on our scorecards?
This week on How Low Can You Go?, Dave and Chris are joined by Will Robins, award-winning PGA golf coach and creator of The Scoring Method, a revolutionary approach to golf improvement that focuses on helping golfers shoot lower scores with the game they already have.
And Will has a remarkable story. After surviving the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami in Thailand while on his honeymoon, his life and golfing career took an extraordinary turn.
In Part 1 of this fascinating two-part conversation, Will challenges almost everything we think we know about getting better at golf.
We explore:
- Why better golf swings don’t necessarily mean lower scores — and why so many golfers are working on the wrong things.
- The expectations trap — how frustration, pressure and tension can destroy your ability to perform.
- Train hard, play easy — why your practice sessions might actually be setting you up to fail on the course.
- Breaking 90, breaking 80 and breaking through scoring barriers — how to turn your existing ability into better results.
- The Four Gears of Golf — Will’s brilliant approach to course management, risk and playing to your ability.
- Stop making doubles and triples — why eliminating big numbers is often far more important than chasing birdies.
Dave also reveals how applying Will’s advice several years ago helped him shoot 86 when he was struggling to break 90.
Whether you’re a high-handicap golfer desperate to break 100, a mid-handicapper chasing 80, or a low-handicapper trying to reach scratch, this conversation could fundamentally change the way you approach the game.
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.
