For me it was developing a really solid short game.

I think the big question for me was always about what was lacking, not what was great.For those who have made their biggest steps in golf, what helped you? Currently shooting in the low 80s just about every round and I wanna make the jump to being a 70s shooter. Is it practicing certain elements of the game that propelled you or maybe understanding course management better and not trying to do too much?
Coming from a competitive background I really get this. I definitely have been working on my weaknesses and would love for it to be commonplace to be able to play guys who are consistently in the 70s. My friend who I play with a bit who is that golfer sadly doesn’t live too close. In all fairness I couldn’t break 100 consistently at the start of the year and understand I’ve made great strides. But the competitor in me knows I can do it and yearns for improvement.I think the big question for me was always about what was lacking, not what was great.
Obviously you want to leverage what is good, but if you can isolate what you're not doing well and focusing on that, you've got a great chance of getting to that next step in a pretty comfortable way.
Also, for me at least, challenging other players who are slightly better than me usually seemed to help. Then it's less about breaking 80 and more about beating the guy who breaks 80.
I really like this, some of my best rounds I never did anything spectacularly but I also never did anything very poorly. Just consistent golf. I think it’s easy to look at the tour pros that make it look so easy and you think I should be able to do that (in no world do I actually think this) or at least something somewhat like them.Take it for what you will from a high-capper, but, when I played some of my best rounds, it was simply from hitting a decent shot, every time. When I can just hit every shot decently, the penalizing shots disappear. (By penalizing, I don't necessarily mean one that comes from breaking a rule of golf, but one where it takes another shot to get to the same spot a decent shot would have gone.)
My latest mind-game has been "I hit one bad shot per hole. If I can just eliminate that one bad shot per hole, I can drop 18 strokes from my score."I really like this, some of my best rounds I never did anything spectacularly but I also never did anything very poorly.
