PRACTICE PLAN
Break 90: dial in iron contact and wedge distance.
Breaking 90 is about going from "I always make a mess somewhere" to "I make par or bogey on most holes." That requires iron contact, wedge distance control, and a reliable up-and-down.

Frequently asked
What is the biggest barrier to breaking 90?
Approach play. A 90-shooter typically averages 35-40 feet from the pin on approaches; an 80-shooter averages 25 feet. Tighter iron contact and dialed-in wedge yardages close that gap.
How long does it take to break 90?
For most golfers playing twice a week with structured practice, 6-12 months. Random range time without scoring drills almost never gets you there.
