“JB” James B. Griffin, Golf Teaching Professional
Handicap 11.4 usually shoot in the mid 80s to high 80s at Big Boy Courses.
Only broke 80 once at a Big Boy Course bet score 68 at Lawrence Welk 18 Executive Course in a social Tournament. it's always a goal to shoot even par wherever you tee it up but only the Worlds Best can do that on a consistent basis. If you break 100 on a Big Boy course you are normal. If your over 100+ give me a call I can help fix a few things.

Griffin Golf "One Shot at a time"
One shot at a time as the golf gods know… This little white golf ball is under my control
I walk up to the hole and picture in my mind where my little white golf ball will go,
Planning each shot in my mind, On the pin, center, short, long, left, right, keeping my next shot in mind,
I place my ball on the tee, line up my fairway approach,
position my stance in the bunker, set my pitch approach, line up my putt, all with no doubts- only what my mind can see of the correct shot, positive it will be.
I drive, swing, punch, pitch, blast, chip or putt through the little white golf ball where it may lie, having previously created the correct mental picture of the shot in my mind where my little white golf ball will go. I confidently watch the ball follow the path that the correct shot was previously programmed to go. One shot at a time as the golf gods know… This little white golf ball is under my control
You never know where the little white golf ball will go, so take one shot at a time as the golf gods know… This little white golf ball is under my control…
