Can you make more birdies by trying to make more birdies?

Golf is a funny sport where trying harder typically has the opposite of the intended impact. Ever drained a 30 footer for double as if it was cake while struggling to make a 3 foot birdie?... That's golf. Let's explore how you shoot lower scores.

How do you make more birdies?

Trick question… you don’t make more birdies by trying to make more birdies. You have to let the birdies come to you by stacking up good targets and good golf swings. Ever noticed when you get aggressive trying to make more birdies (or lower numbers for you) that you tend to also make more big numbers?

This is because you take on more risk that doesn’t allow for your dispersion to keep you in a good spot. We explore all this and more in the latest YouTube video on The Good Miss where I caddie for my 8 handicap friend, Trey, on a tough golf course in Prestwick Country Club on the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail using the Tangent Golf app.

Can AI Make You a Better Golfer?

This is the question Nizz of The Golf Fathers sets out to answer in their latest YouTube video. He uses Tangent to navigate 9 holes, letting the AI Caddie make all of his club and target suggestions. We won’t spoil it, but its a fun look into how Nizz makes the most out of the app.

I got tired of having my clubs fall over in my sim room and in my garage between rounds. It always looked messy with golf bags just thrown about, but with Clubs Dock I get them off the ground and organized. It's a great way to show off my clubs and get them out of the way.
