Playbook

Michael Breed

Wouldn’t it be great to know exactly what you should work on when you practice to lower your scores? Introducing “Michael Breed’s Playbook.” No more guessing, no more wasted time—just smarter practice. From driving to the short game, here’s how to get ready to play better.

Short Game

The tendency for most golfers when practicing their short games is to stand in one place and hit the same shot from the same lie over and over. To improve your short game on the course, you have to be ready for different situations: high shots, low shots, shots with spin, shots from the rough, etc. In this video, Michael Breed shows you how to handle it all and get up and down more often.

Driving

The old saying goes,”Drive for show, putt for dough.” But without the ability to consistently drive the ball in the fairway, you’ll never put yourself in position to make a big putt. Here, Michael Breed explains how to improve your tee shots. It starts with embracing your natural shot shape, and then it’s about knowing how to make swing adjustments to limit errant drives.

Putting

Before a round, most golfers are concerned with loosening up and preparing for the first-tee shot. So when they get on the course, they have no feel for putting, and their scores suffer. To improve on the greens, you have to make time to practice two types of putts: long lags and the must-make putts. In this video, Michael Breed covers what you need to do to putt better when it counts.
