If your golf game is stuck in the 80s and you’re wondering why you can’t seem to break into the 70s, it could be because you’re making this one common mistake.

According to top golf instructor James Ridyard, who recently shared with us his key tips for breaking 80, golfers should avoid trying to hit hero shots.

“The biggest key is not trying to be a hero, especially when it’s not necessary,” he said. “The big thing is to make sure you hit the shot to the easier part of the green. Don’t try to get tricky on the golf course.”

Playing aggressively to get closer to the pin on the approach shot can often lead to a big miss that you can’t recover from and ends up costing you multiple strokes.

Instead, aim for the biggest part of the green, making it easier to hit your target, putting you in a good position for your next chip or putt.
