How much is a third? Well a third can be a great amount depending on where and to what situation it is applied. In this case applying a third can mean a lot better golf handicap. Handicapping is a system that is used by all golf courses to try and bring the game up to make it an even playing field and a more competitive competition between golfing opponents.
Contingent upon the previous 20 rounds played by the golfer, and the differential between score and par, the golfer's handicap is established on the lowest 10 of the 20 games played on an 18 hole golf course. Exceptions are made at some courses per the previous 10 games. Having a handicap is important so that players are teamed up more equally and the game becomes more competitive between the two. As the games progress and golfer's play more and more each individual player tries to get his/her stroke score down to a better golf handicap or (acquiring less and less strokes) to finish a standard 18 hole game.
Golf handicaps are not mandatory unless of course you are considering playing in officially sanctioned tournaments. That being said most recreational golfers (just play for the sake of playing) and never acquire a golf handicap. Should you, however, plan to compete with much better (or much worse) playing partners or if you should play for money then knowing just what your handicap is would be vitally important for obvious reasons. One main reason would be to be able to pair up with a more or less competitor of the game. In any event knowing your golf score can also clear the air with competitors in the event of false accusations and such
For reasons of improving your game by lowering your stroke score which in essence is the same as acquiring a better golf handicap. Golfers who golf professionally strive endlessly to achieve the goal of finishing an 18 hole golf game with as few strokes as possible. To help many golfers attain the goal to a lower golf score many turn to the latest equipment and gadgets that boast how they can help a golfer do this, while other golfers work on their techniques and strategies of either their long game or their short game to help improve their golf stroke.
While over 90% of golfers, whether recreational or professional, has a very poor short game, according to statistics, i.e. putting chipping, bunker shots and pitching as well. Utilizing just one of these short games to it's correct potential, particularly the pitch in this case, you could stand to have a better golf handicap to the tune of a third. You may wonder how this conclusion is reached. The next time you watch a pro golf tournament be sure to pay close attention to, particularly, the golfers pitch shot. A well executed, High lofted pitch shot can dramatically reduce the strokes that it takes to cage the ball by landing close enough to the pin that putting comes to a minimum. Can this really be a learned technique? Just look at the pros.
