Own Your 150-Yard Shot – The Key to Lower Scores
Every golfer has that one distance they keep seeing over and over again, and for most, it’s around 150 yards.
It’s the shot that separates good rounds from “what could’ve been.”
Hit it crisp, and you’re putting for birdie. Miss it, and you’re scrambling for bogey.
So let’s break down how to own your 150-yard shot and turn that middle-distance into your biggest advantage.
1️⃣ Find Your 150 Club, and Stick With It
If you’re guessing between two clubs every time you see 150, that’s costing you shots.
Consistency starts with confidence, and confidence starts with knowing your numbers.
👉 Tip: Use a rangefinder or GPS to find which club truly carries 150 yards — not total distance, just carry.
Hit 10 solid shots, record the average, and that’s your go-to club.
Next time you face that number on the course, you’ll swing with zero hesitation.
2️⃣ Tempo Over Power
Trying to swing harder usually means missing farther.
The secret to hitting 150 solid every time? Tempo.
Think smooth and controlled — not rushed.
Try this: count “1–2” going back, and “3” on your follow-through.
That rhythm keeps your contact pure and your distance predictable.
💡 Remember: It’s not about how far you hit, it’s about how well you hit it.
3️⃣ The 10-Ball Consistency Drill
This one’s simple, but powerful.
1️⃣ Grab your 150-yard club.
2️⃣ Hit 10 balls with the same setup and rhythm.
3️⃣ Track the carry distance on each shot.
4️⃣ Aim for all 10 shots within 5–7 yards of each other.
If your results are tight, that’s consistency.
If not, keep refining your rhythm, you’re training your body to repeat success.
When you know your true 150 club and trust your tempo, your confidence skyrockets.
You’ll hit more greens, avoid unnecessary bogeys, and finally feel in control of your approach shots.
